New York State Division of Human Rights

So this is when the challenge really happened.

The, the thing that is now coming full circle is that the, the court struck this down and actually, uh, Governor Kathy Hochul, uh, directed the Division of Human Rights of New York State to investigate the district for potentially violating the human rights law of the state, which is gonna be fascinating to see how they come out with that, 'cause o- of course they would say, "Well, yeah, you know, if you can't hang up your gay flag, they're discriminating against your human rights, because clearly one of your human rights is to hang up your gay flag." I'm assuming that's probably what their finding will be.

But the district noted in the court, um, the policy did not restrict personal displays such as maybe a rainbow pin worn by a teacher, the LGBTQ pin, or even teachers could display a photo of themselves and their same-sex partner.

They just couldn't put up the flag, and that's where the lawsuit was.

They're weaponized to protect her friends.

I mean, that is I mean, where where was her where was New York State Division of Human Rights during during the mandates? Where was that? I mean, completely illegal.

We had the mayor of New York City literally picking and choosing which religions he was going to honor religious accommodations for.

And he was saying it publicly.

You have nothing." And I'm like, "This doesn't make sense." Like, I'm, this, here's the OEO law.

Here's the po- here's New York State Division of Human Rights.

Here's what they're saying about religious accommodations.

Here's how we deal with religious accommodations.

You could go on New York State Attorney General Letitia James' website.

There you go.

Look up the New York State Division of Human Rights, and it'll lay out all of that, and New York violated all of that during that time.

Um, so do I think that there's still a case to be had? I do, but I think that comes out with a victory like that, that I don't know we're ever gonna get.
