Wisconsin Conservative Group Is Trying To Stop Biden's Student Loan Plan--And You Can Guess the

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Reason Why

The Root previously wrote about the efforts Republican legislatures are using to stop President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. However, a conservative legal group is mad about this plan for another reason. On behalf of the Brown County Taxpayers Association, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed a lawsuit on Tuesday claiming executive overreach. Biden’s plan violates federal law, they say, by intentionally seeking to narrow the racial wealth gap and help Black borrowers, according to the Washington Post.

Previous lawsuits claim Biden doesn’t have the executive power to do broad debt cancelation. The Wisconsin suit also says this, but is the first to make a challenge based on race.

“The White House has indicated that one reason to do this is that they believe it would disproportionately benefit certain racial groups,” said Rick Esenberg, president and general counsel of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. “The racial motivation supports these taxpayers standing to challenge [the policy] and informs yet another constitutional difficulty with the program.”

Within Biden’s Student Loan forgiveness plan, those lower-income students who received Pell Grants could see up to $20,000 of debt forgiven. 60% of Black students in America receive Pell Grant assistance to attend college. God forbid a policy reduces the vast wealth gap between Black people and the rest of Americans. The Biden administration has been adamant that this plan would help those who need it. It just so happens that the struggling population is comprised of Black people and people of color.

Biden's Student Debt Relief Plan Driven By 'Improper Racial Motive,' New Lawsuit Says

President Joe Biden’s student debt relief plan is facing yet another legal challenge after a Wisconsin organization filed a lawsuit challenging Biden’s proposal in part on the grounds that it includes an “improper racial motive,” as the White House is about to roll out the application process.

The suit filed by the Brown County Taxpayers Association on Tuesday alleges that Biden’s plan, which would forgive up to $20,000 per borrower, violates the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

“By creating and implementing a federal program with an improper racial motive, Defendants violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection of the laws, which among other things, prohibits federal spending based on race,” states the lawsuit, which was obtained by The Washington Post.

The White House said the plan would “advance racial equity” when it unveiled the action in August.
