They'll probably just pass a law that states can't do this? Just like many states passed laws against municipal fiber.

I've been told since at least 1980 that small, local government was best. I was given the impression that state level government was probably the optimum level to decide things, cities and counties could go off the rails in various ways.

I haven't see a coherent rationale for reversing course on this doctrine, which was extremely strongly held, and cited a lot.

I don't think government at any level should get to discriminate based on protected classes and I hope most people alive today will agree

That has never been true in practice. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court said that ICE can detain people solely if they are Hispanic and where they are.
