13. Very misleading headline

And stuff like this hurts the cause by making us look like we are always overreacting.

This doesn't outlaw female police officers. It's an anti-DEI law. The key word in the headline in "intentionally", and i think it was written this way to confuse people.

The law says they can't have DEI departments, initiatives, or policies.

Bad enough on its own, but nothing like what the writer is trying to make people think.
