Zach 🇮🇱 🇺🇸@fullyabstract That’s a #misrepresentation. #Jews aren’t given “unique” #protections. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars #discrimination by federally funded institutions based on race, color, or national origin — and courts have applied this to Jews. The same protections apply to Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Black people, LGBTQ+, etc. There is no carve-out just for Jews.

Supreme Court deals stunning setback to transgender rights in Tennessee case
An American Civil Liberties Union lawyer says the Supreme Court decision upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors is “a devastating loss for transgender people” and "everyone who cares about the Constitution.” The justices’ 6-3 decision Wednesday effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by President Donald Trump’s Republican administration and state governments to roll back protections for transgender people. Another 26 states have laws similar to Tennessee's. Chief Justice John Roberts writes for a conservative majority the law does not violate the Constitution’s equal protection clause. Justice Sonia Sotomayor writes in a dissent the majority “abandons transgender children" to political whims.
