It was terminated without a legally persuasive reason, Judge Ali finds. https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/045111516055?caseid=280289&de_seq_num=209&magic_num=

The fucking overt discrimination, cruelty and hints of eugenics, should make everyone nervous and concerned.
This was a crime and someone should go to jail.
