Probably an important clarification that still allows you to make the point you are trying to w/r/t the Evers veto: that section raised the state-imposed limits on what school districts could raise/spend per-pupil. I’ve seen a lot of reporting that it actually just raises spending by that much every year for 400 years, which is very different
Good points, but these for me were not even the worst. Biden enacted both a small business loans program and a struggling farm program (I believe) only available for people of color when the pandemic hit (no other program seemed to come close) all in the name of “equity”. They were so blatantly unconstitutional and dare I say illegal that federal judges struck down both of them. Even the language was blatantly exclusionary. For example a husband and wife duo (one white and one Hispanic) were denied a loan because only 1 was an owner (not at least 51% nonwhite ownership). That disturbed me cause I had never heard of such exclusionary measures based on race until then. Also, there was a law for vaccines in New York that stated minority status of an individual would be given precedent over everything except if you presently had COVID. The law was written in a way that gives a black 20 year old vaccine priority over a white 65 year old which is absurd since old people are more at risk. These to me were the most authoritarian things that were enacted under democrats because to me applying different standards to different races and ethnic groups (treating them differently) is immoral and violates our ideal of equality under the law so blatantly.
