End racial discrimination in the federal government
'Socially disadvantaged individuals' have leg up in federal grant eligibility
COMMENTARY
By Scott Walker - Thursday, November 20, 2025
OPINION:
The promise of America was declared on July 4, 1776, with these words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
We have been on the path toward a more perfect nation for nearly 250 years.
Eventually, the states ratified a Constitution for the new United States of America. Though imperfect, it set the framework for our republic and established a process, albeit difficult, to amend the document.
Over the years, several important improvements were made, including the abolition of slavery and the granting of the right to vote to women. Each of these amendments was a further step toward meeting the promise made in the Declaration of Independence.
It is incumbent on our free society to protect fundamental rights and ensure equal opportunity for all Americans. Equality, however, is different from equity. The founding document of our republic says we are all equal.
With that in mind, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and the Center for Individual Rights are filing a lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of Young America’s Foundation and Revier Technologies Inc., to ensure that all Americans are treated equally. This legal action targets the regulation that gives federal government officials jurisdiction over race-based and unconstitutional diversity, equity and inclusion practices in many government programs.
Over the years, numerous governmental agencies have employed the term “socially disadvantaged individuals” to identify which Americans are eligible for federal programs, including taxpayer-funded grants, fellowships, loans and employment opportunities. The lawsuit contends that these actions are unconstitutional.
The complaint spells out how the Small Business Act “directs the Small Business Administration to fulfill government contracts using small businesses owned and controlled by ‘socially disadvantaged individuals.’ To implement this statute, the SBA issued a rule creating a presumption that members of certain races are ‘socially disadvantaged.’ For example, the SBA Regulation presumes that all ‘Asian Pacific Americans,’ ‘Subcontinent Asian Americans,’ ‘Hispanic Americans,’ and ‘Black Americans,’ among other categories, are socially disadvantaged, merely because of their race or ethnicity.”
