Racist California Bill: SB 185

SB 185 has passed the senate and the assembly, and is awaiting review by Governor Brown. If passed, the bill will allow the University of California to use race as a factor in making admissions decisions.

Pro-affirmative action folks can talk about 'leveling the playing field' all they want, but at the end of the day, they are endorsing a program that makes decisions about people based on skin color. What sort of example are we setting for our children? "Oh, Johny. It's okay to judge people by their skin color, but only sometimes." Is that what we want in our society?

I say 'no' - and so did California voters in 1996 when we voted yes on Proposition 209, which prohibited public institutions from using race, sex, or ethnicity in making admissions decisions.
