#Fascist #Arkansas #Governor #SarahHuckabeeSanders #orders #state to ignore new #TitleIX #rules that adds #discrimination #protections for #Gay and #Trans #Students.

#Hateful #State #education #officials in #RedStates have also #instructed #schools to #ignore the new #TitleIX #rule, even though it would risk losing #federal #education #funding.

#Cops #trained by #StreetCopTraining were #instructed on things like #unconstitutional factors in making decisions to stop someone, like #race; how to turn any action into a #suspicious one, and how #Black and #queer people are subhuman.

#ACAB

The Supreme Court on Friday sent back to state court an #Ohio #redistricting #case that raised the same, sweeping theory about the “#Independent #State #Legislature” theory that the justices recently rejected in a case arising out of North Carolina.

By returning the case to the Ohio Supreme Court, the justices wiped away previous rulings striking down congressional maps for Ohio and #instructed the #state #court to #reconsider the dispute under the US Supreme Court’s new opinion in the North Carolina dispute earlier this week

Since the Ohio Supreme Court struck down the GOP-drawn congressional maps, its makeup has #changed, with Republican wins in the midterm elections pulling the #state #supreme #court #further to #right
