I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

Title is a bit misleading. The summary:

They are suing because there exist quotas

The argument they make is that hiring based on gender makes the US Secret service hire less qualified people, and generates a negative image for women

This comes after the assassination attempt on Trump caused criticism of the USSS and some women agents that were close by.

You're saying it's misleading? How so?

Most would assume that discriminatory means they are getting sued for not hiring enough women, rather than the opposite

It is pretty self explanatory from my original comment

Now that's a take. Which DEI quotas keep companies from hiring more women than they ordinarily would?

Read the article

That is the point. They are suing to stop the USSS from meeting its diversity quotas
