California legislators have decided that universities and government agencies should be using racial- and gender-based quotas in admissions and hiring. California voters will be the last line of defense.
The California Assembly has passed Assembly Constitutional Amendment 5, which would repeal Proposition 209 — California’s ban on racial preferences. Proposition 209 passed in 1996, with 54% of Californians deciding that race- and sex-based affirmative action was no longer acceptable in the state. Now, ACA 5 has passed the Assembly, 60-14. Next, it heads to the California Senate, which will likely pass it as well.
