Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sent a letter to the retailer Costco, calling them out for continuing to promote "discriminatory" DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies and calling for the company to immediately repeal these policies.
The letter, which was led by Iowa and Kansas, stated in part, "The Supreme Court has repeatedly warned against using race-based preferences and classifications. Most recently, in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Court explained that 'Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.'"
Attorney General Paxton said in a statement, "Discriminatory DEI policies are unethical, unlawful, and fundamentally un-American." He went on to say that Costco's continuing defense of these practices was "reprehensible."
