A federal appeals court panel on Friday upheld a lower court decision to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney discriminated against Italian Americans by renaming the city’s Columbus Day holiday to Indigenous Peoples’ Day.A year ago, U.S. District Judge C.
Third Circuit Judge David J. Porter, writing on behalf of a three-judge panel, said in his opinion filed Friday that the “government does not violate the Equal Protection Clause every time it affirms or celebrates an ethnicity. Otherwise, Columbus Day itself would arguably have been an equal protection violation — but of course it wasn’t.”
Porter added: “Plaintiffs might be able to show injury under the Equal Protection Clause if Philadelphia celebrated every ethnicity but conspicuously excluded Italian Americans.” The judge wrote: “To the extent that Plaintiffs seek redress for this offense, their remedy is political, not legal.”“While we are disappointed in the ruling by the Third Circuit, I have every intention of pursuing the matter in the United States Supreme Court,” Bochetto said in an email Friday evening.in South Philadelphia. The box was installed in June 2020 with the intention of having the statue eventually removed.
