Government watchdog asks Missouri AG to investigate MSU business boot camp that excluded White males

Fox News contributor Joe Concha joins'Fox & Friends First' to discuss Elon Musk's warning that artificial intelligence could threaten elections and his concerns on the declining birth rate. A government watchdog group Tuesday requested that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey investigate a tax-payer-funded Missouri State University business boot program that excluded White males. In a letter to Bailey's office, the Equal Protection Project (EPP) alleged that Missouri State University (MSU) was "engaging in racial- and gender-based discrimination through its sponsorship, promotion, and hosting of a small business training'boot camp' that limits participation" to women and people who identify as "BIPOC" – an acronym for non-white "Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color." MSU began accepting applications for the Spring 2023 Early-Stage Business Boot Camp program in late November. The university said the program was for "aspiring or current BIPOC and/or women small business owners who have recently started or are in the idea phase" and live in Southern Missouri.
