   Mississippi anti-DEI schools law no longer blocked by injunction

   3 outlets · first: WLBT Regulation

   Machine summary A constitutional challenge brought by teachers, parents and students was ordered reassigned to a different district judge after the appeals court found factual errors in the district court's orders.

   1. The appeals court ordered the case reassigned to a different district judge, a step the reports describe as extraordinary and rarely invoked.
   2. The opinion was written by Fifth Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, a Reagan appointee, concerning the handling of the case by Judge Henry Wingate, also a Reagan appointee, per the reports.
   3. Judge Wingate replaced his July temporary restraining order two days after issuing it, after Mississippi officials flagged factual errors, according to the reports.
   4. According to the reports, the order cited four purported declarations found nowhere in the record that the Fifth Circuit said "may not even exist," and attributed wording to the bill that does not appear in the enacted law.

   Court: office seating and snubs did not meet German bullying bar

   2 outlets · first: Ogletree Regulation

   Machine summary The court's summary states that the seating arrangement was not by itself discriminatory and that the alleged conduct did not rise to bullying, and the reports note the employer's mediation offer did not proceed after an employee declined.

   1. According to the court, being rude does not amount to bullying at work; only behaviour that is both systematic and objectively reprehensible reaches that level, and a mediation offer from the employer never went ahead because the colleague declined.
