Do No Harm filed a federal lawsuit against Gov. Greg Gianforte's office challenging Montana's use of race and gender mandates for appointments to public boards.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Do No Harm by the Pacific Legal Foundation this week, challenges Montana’s requirement that its governor consider race and gender when making appointments to the state’s 12-member Board of Medical Examiners.
Do No Harm, a membership organization, claimed it has members who would be qualified for appointment to the board in Montana but for the racial and gender quotas put in place. “Such blatant discrimination against individuals who could sit on the Board serves no legitimate government purpose.” the lawsuit said. “It is demeaning, patronizing, un-American, and unconstitutional.”
