“A federal judge in Michigan on Wednesday refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing IBM of forcing out a white male consultant in order to further its goals of building a more diverse workforce.
“Andrew Block of America First Legal, the conservative group representing Dill, said: ‘We look forward to continuing to litigate this case and fight for justice on behalf of our client.’
“America First Legal was founded by Stephen Miller, a top adviser to Republican President Donald Trump, and has filed a series of lawsuits and complaints claiming companies’ diversity policies are unlawful. In one of those cases, a federal judge in Los Angeles last year rejected CBS’ motion to dismiss a white screenwriter’s claims that the network’s diversity efforts led it to deny him a staff position on the show ‘SEAL Team.'”
