Case Paused
For Bari Weiss
Substack Piece
on Ray v The
New 42 Street
By Matthew

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 13 –
Kevin
Ray was
employed by
the NYC-based
theater
company The
New 42 Street
until he
chafed at
post-George
Floyd
diversity
training. He
filed a
lawsuit.
On January 13,
2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Alvin K.
Hellerstein
held a
proceeding.
Inner City
Press covered
it.
The complaint
cites "the
common sense
words of the
Supreme Court:
'The way to
stop
discrimination
on the basis
of race is to
stop
discrimination
on the basis
of race.'" Parents
Involved in
Community
Schools v.
Seattle School
District No. 1,
127 Sup. Ct.
2738
(2007).
Counsel for
New 42 said
they were near
to
consummating a
monetary
settlement,
after Ray
previously
posted his
critiques on
YouTube and
other "outward
facing
videos."
But
now, New 42's
lawyer said,
there was
another
problem: an
article
forthcoming on
Bari Weiss'
Substack.
Until they see
it, he said,
they will not
consummate any
settlement.
Judge
Hellerstein
inquired, but
that was the
lay of the
land:
everything on
hold pending
the
forthcoming
Substack.
The case is
Ray v. The New
42nd Street,
Inc.,
22-cv-4811
