Social media has labeled the actions of a newly elected Democrat Colorado state legislator as clearly illegal and called for an investigation immediately.
This after Iman Jodeh, newly elected in the midterms and preparing to take her office in January, posted an opening for an internship that requires the applicants to be Muslim.
Or North African.
Apparently, Colorado Democratic Senator Iman Jodeh and Representative Yara Zokaie are promoting an internship at the Colorado Capitol with some shocking qualifications. According to the advertised program, applicants must identify as Muslim and/or Middle Eastern, North African, https://t.co/nlrcgzRavG

This needs to be investigated immediately and Jodeh held accountable for breaking the law.

Because Sen. Jodeh is Muslim and therefore can do whatever she wants?

Colorado, of course, already is an extremist state, having Democrat control of the governor’s office, both houses of the legislature and the state Supreme Court, which exhibited its blatant partisanship by trying to ban President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballot.
There, too, Phil Weiser, who is to be governor in a few months, is demanding that he has the authority to change ballot issues on which citizens voted, and approved.
They deal with banning “gender” body mutilations on children and requiring boys to be on boys athletic teams, and not in girls locker rooms.
He is insisting they’ll have to be fixed, so he’ll be working on changing what the voters actually approved.
A report on Jodeh’s agenda at the Daily Caller said she “announced a paid internship at the state capitol with qualifications requiring that candidates identify as Muslim or descend from predominantly Muslim regions of the world.”
Jodeh posted, ““Gain first-hand experience at the Colorado Capitol in Sen. Jodeh and Rep. Zokaie’s offices!”
The first requirement is applicants must “Identify as a Muslim and/or as Middle Eastern, North African, or South Asian.”
It is being offered under the “Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian (MENASA) & Muslim Joint Legislative Caucus.”
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits hiring or firing based on national origin and religion, among other immutable characteristics. Colorado state law also prohibits discrimination against employees based on protected classes such as religion and national origin.
