Prominent black conservatives criticized President Biden and his administration for suing Sheetz convenience stores over their hiring practices. The lawsuit claims that Sheetz discriminates by screening job applicants for criminal records. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accuses Sheetz of denying employment based on race, citing federal law violations.
Some conservatives argue that businesses should have the right to screen applicants for criminal history to protect employees and customers amid rising crime rates. They believe President Biden’s lawsuit reflects a far-left agenda that threatens public safety and the economy. Legal experts suggest that the EEOC’s claim lacks a basis in the law and could impose liability risks on businesses like Sheetz.

Black Conservatives Blast Biden Admin’s ‘Soft Bigotry’ After It Sues Sheetz For Discrimination https://t.co/nXC9UWPS7x— Punkin (@PatriotPunkin1) April 25, 2024
Sheetz refutes the EEOC’s allegations, emphasizing their commitment to diversity and inclusion. The EEOC argues that criminal background checks have a disparate impact on minority groups but does not allege explicit racial motivation in Sheetz’s hiring decisions. Critics assert that the EEOC’s approach may harm minority hiring rates and create legal uncertainty for employers.
Conservatives view the EEOC’s lawsuit against Sheetz as misplaced and detrimental to business operations. They call for a dismissal of the lawsuit and urge the EEOC to focus on combating actual discrimination in the workplace. Despite the controversy, Sheetz remains a well-regarded company with a loyal customer base and recognition for being a top employer in America.
