After second federal judge withdraws error-riddled ruling, litigants seek explanation
Briefly

Federal Judge Henry T. Wingate withdrew a July 20 opinion after the Mississippi Attorney General's office identified significant errors, including references to non-existent claims and parties. The attorney general requested the ruling be restored on the docket for accuracy. Wingate's opinion attempted to block a Mississippi law limiting diversity and inclusion programs, citing unsupported claims about institutional impacts and faculty instructions at a state university. Concurrently, another judge withdrew an unrelated flawed ruling in New Jersey, indicating a broader concern about judicial errors in rulings.
This case reveals significant errors in the legal reasoning of U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate, including references to parties that are not involved and incorrect statements about laws.
The accusation that faculty at Jackson State University were instructed to avoid discussing gender theory comes without evidence in the records supporting such a claim.
