During an interview on Fox News following a unanimous decision in the case *Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services*, Davis highlighted that the court established that &#8220;majority groups&#8221; shouldn&#8217;t have to meet different standards of evidence for discrimination based on race or sexual orientation.He referred to this ruling as a positive development and indicated that it could set a precedent for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-supreme-court-set-to-hear-appeal-of-court-decision-that-absentee-ballot-drop-boxes-are-illegal\/\" title=\"Wisconsin ... Set to Hear Appeal of Court Decision that Absentee Ballot Drop Boxes Are Illegal\">similar case pending<\/a> before the Supreme Court, *B.W. v. austin Independent School District*. This case involves a student, Brooks Warden, who faced harassment for his political beliefs and is claiming racial discrimination. davis expressed optimism that the Supreme Court may extend its discrimination ruling to the education sector, underlining the principle that discrimination is wrong irrespective of the victim&#8217;s race or background.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The U.S. Supreme Court should extend its prohibition on reverse discrimination to American schools, not only workplaces, Federalist CEO Sean Davis said on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>The moment came during an interview Davis participated in on Fox News&rsquo; <em>The Will Cain Show<\/em> when the host of the same name asked The Federalist CEO to comment on a SCOTUS decision released on Thursday in a case known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/24pdf\/23-1039_c0n2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Ames v.

Austin Independent School District<\/em>, the case centers on a student (Brooks Warden) who attended school in the Austin Independent School District in Texas. <\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/manhattan.institute\/article\/amicus-brief-b-w-v-austin-independent-school-district\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manhattan Institute<\/a>, Warden &mdash; a white Christian male &mdash; was reportedly bullied and harassed for expressing his support for President Trump by wearing a MAGA hat. The conservative think tank noted that &ldquo;Brooks&rsquo;s parents repeatedly reported the bullying and harassment to the AISD, but the District did nothing to prevent it from continuing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This prompted Warden&rsquo;s parents to file a lawsuit <a href=\"https:\/\/ed311.com\/appeals-court-upholds-dismissal-of-student-discrimination-suit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">against<\/a> the school district on his behalf, alleging, in part, racial discrimination under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The suit was dismissed by the district court and later a panel on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The full 5th Circuit later reviewed the case en banc, at which point the full court &ldquo;split evenly,&rdquo; according to the Manhattan Institute. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-nukes-bidens-unlawful-student-loan-bailout-again\/\" title=\"SCOTUS Nukes Biden&#039;s Unlawful Student Loan Bailout \u2014 Again\">appellate court&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s indecision prompted plaintiffs to file a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/search.aspx?filename=\/docket\/docketfiles\/html\/public\/24-871.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">petition<\/a> with the Supreme Court in February, asking the justices to take up the case. The high court has yet to decide whether it will hear the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Cain, Davis noted that the <em>B.W.<\/em> case has &ldquo;the exact same set of facts, not in an employment context, but in an education context.&rdquo; He added that SCOTUS&rsquo;s unanimous decision in the <em>Ames<\/em> case is &ldquo;a really good sign&rdquo; that the justices will say, &ldquo;&lsquo;Look, we&rsquo;re not going to leave this just in the employment context, where we say discrimination is wrong.&#8217;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They have an opportunity to expand it to education, to every other major institution that says discrimination is discrimination,&rdquo; Davis said. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t say that it&rsquo;s OK to discriminate against someone because they&rsquo;re white, but not OK because they&rsquo;re black. We all know it&rsquo;s wrong. It&rsquo;s common sense that it&rsquo;s wrong, and it&rsquo;s nice to finally see the Supreme Court acknowledge in law that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gabbard-claims-of-dog-whistle-politics-in-youngkin-win-shows-dems-think-were-stupid-were-dogs\/\" title=\"Gabbard: Claims of &#039;Dog Whistle&#039; Politics in Youngkin Win Shows Dems Think &#039;We&#039;re Stupid,&#039; &#039;We&#039;re Dogs&#039;\">basic common sense<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;What [SCOTUS] said is you don&rsquo;t get to have a different standard for proving discrimination based on whether the person is white or black or straight or gay,&#8221; said Federalist CEO Sean Davis in response to a Supreme Court decision released Thursday. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ea4WocO5Ur\">pic.twitter.com\/Ea4WocO5Ur<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Federalist (@FDRLST) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FDRLST\/status\/1930730156613865966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 5, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p>      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
