Judge Rules Biden Era Internet Grant Program Unconstitutionally Prioritized Racial Minorities The US District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled that key provisions of the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's internet grant program are unconstitutional because they unfairly prioritized racial minorities.
The decision, which has sparked intense debate among lawmakers and advocacy groups, centers on the idea that the program discriminated against non minority applicants.
Understanding the Decision The court found that the Biden administration's decision to allocate a disproportionate share of funds towards projects serving predominantly minority communities constituted an unconstitutional form of racial preference.
