COVerage - San gabriel valley tribune
From the San Gabriel Valley Examiner: ARCADIA – In Arcadia, Californians For Equal Rights (CFER), the official 2020 NO on Prop 16 group, threw a rally that drew in hundreds of attendees and almost 300 cars. On Saturday, August 8, cars gathered in unity to denounce affirmative action, which will be on the November ballot.
Prop 16 seeks to modify the California Constitution by removing a non-discrimination clause and will legalize using race and gender as a basis for college admissions and other school choices and practices such as charter schools and school leadership. Additionally it will allow all public government agencies to hire and promote based on sex and the color of your skin. This affects government jobs, public employment promotions and contracts with the University of California, Cal State Universities, Elementary Schools and High Schools. It would repeal Prop 209, instituted in 1996, which barred governmental discrimination based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin during the selection process. (read more)
