From Washington Examiner:
Chesney’s remarks come on the heels of a new federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch to shut down the race-based initiative, which gives $25,000 in taxpayer money exclusively to Black residents.
On social media, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton announced the civil rights class action lawsuit.
“If you identify as white, you can’t apply. If you identify as Asian, you can’t apply. If you identify as Hispanic, you can’t apply,” said Fitton. “This is a brazen violation of the 14th Amendment federal civil rights law.”
A new survey from National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago shows strong support for Evanston’s reparations program, with majorities across racial groups—including 70% of white residents—calling it “good public policy.”
Fitton said the constitution is supposed to be colorblind.
“But the left in Evanston and those who want to play the racial division card, they don’t believe that and Judicial Watch is hoping and praying a federal court will remind them of the rule of law,” said Fitton.
