California’s Proposition was on the ballot this month. It would have ended a ban on affirmative action in place since 1996, impacting hiring, contracting and admissions policies at California’s public universities, community colleges and agencies.
Intended to address the systemic racism oh so obvious in those institutions. It was voted down by 14 points. Interesting, but not the most interesting. Who voted it down? That’s the most interesting things.
Remember Proposition 8?
Of course there are ways around the will of the people.
Well there isn’t one. It’s been banned since 1996. The prop was to lift the ban.
No, data is showing a decline in black, Latino, and Native American students in the UC state system… compared to their high school graduation rate. Asians have actually increased there representation since 1996.
If the affirmative action ban had been voted down, then the courts and administration would have naturally respected the will of the people.
Since it was not voted down, it will be necessary to enforce the greater good.
This is more grassroots than anything (and it’s not even a “movement”), so the elite have a lot of catching up to do with the sheer amount of white fathers out there winning bread for their mixed children. The culture is evolving.
Latino’s now represent the largest ethnic group in CA, and Asians are more than double than the number of Blacks in CA. I guess Latino’s and Asians don’t want Blacks to get preferential treatment over them? If that is indeed the case can we all consider them racists as well?
