Does anyone else see this possibly back firing in the long term as well? The blurb said:
“and allow the state to use race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as a consideration for accepting students or hiring employees.”
This means that for any state job as well, if the hiring manager was a racist, they can simply just say, well, he’s black/hispanic/white/jew/nazi/asian, I don’t think I will hire them since I can use race since I already have my 1 token female half-hispanic/.25 asian/.25 black worker…Even if they didn’t have that token worker, I can now legally choose, say not to hire any women in my company or position or discriminate against them legally.
Just seems like a mess when you have some laws to protect these things and this one to throw it all out the window.
Lastly, I never understood why a poor performing kid would even want to go to college/US/State.
If they couldn’t get in already, they’d probably just end up dropping out even if admitted due to the high cost of college and general college course competitiveness…
My views are of course, having lived the graded curved system where 1/3 of the students flunked anyways in engineering.
That said, guv’ment and laws are so lame and stupid. I’ll sign as well.
