(SRN NEWS) – An appeals court in Louisiana has ruled that NASDAQ cannot require diversity on the boards of companies that list on the exchange. The decision comes more than three years after the Biden administration’s Securities and Exchange Commission approved NASDAQ’s effort to force companies to place greater numbers of homosexuals, women and racial minorities on their boards. The proposed policy would have required most of the nearly 3,000 companies listed on NASDAQ to have at least one homosexual on their board.
The British government has indefinitely banned puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria after independent experts found there was an unacceptable safety risk in prescribing the medication. The decision is a major blow to the transgender agenda and reflects a growing unease throughout Europe with such treatments for children. The decision extends an emergency ban that was upheld by a London judge in July and will be revisited in 2027. The U.S. is now the only major country that is embracing transgender treatments for kids.
Georgia Senate Republicans are recommending that the state write laws banning males from female sports teams in public school and colleges. The recommendation sets the stage for action in the 2025 legislative session. Republican Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones announced almost identical goals at the panel’s first meeting back in August. Legislators in 2022 empowered the Georgia High School Association to regulate transgender students’ participation in sports. But some Republicans say that doesn’t go far enough and that lawmakers themselves need to act.
The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a new religious freedom case over whether a Catholic charitable organization must pay Wisconsin’s employment tax. The justices will review a divided state Supreme Court ruling that refused to grant an exemption to the Catholic Charities Bureau, based in Superior, Wisconsin. The state court ruled that the work of Catholic Charities and four related organizations is not primarily religious, although it found that the motivation to help older, disabled and low-income people stems from Catholic teachings. The case probably will be argued in the spring.
