Opinion on "Court ends Bar diversity funding"

I am not surprised, just disappointed by this information. Florida politics have been working against civil rights for awhile now, with a huge uptick in recent years with the DeSantis and Trump-era ultra-conservatism Christian Nationalist agenda. It is clearly a political move that diverts itself away from ensuring Americans are fairly employed and treated in their profession.

Instead of outright condemning an interest in diversity and inclusion, Scott Westheimer is taking the pressure off himself by diverting the attention to the Membership Outreach Committee. All Florida Bar members are by nature involved with the Bar. It sounds great, but it doesn't actually address the issue - that we all benefit from a diverse legal profession.
