标 题: 越南裔共和党州议员候选人Long Pham公开表示反对SCA5
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sat Mar 1 21:35:44 2014, 美东)
谁说越南裔社区不知情?现在越来越多的越南裔美国人开始加入声讨SCA5的队伍。越南
裔美国人在传统上支持共和党。
下面是Long Pham的声明。
”I was young when I immigrated to the United States from Vietnam. At the
time, part of the ‘American Dream’ was that this country provided equality
of opportunity. What that meant to me was: if you work hard, you will find
success and prosperity.
I believe that all individuals should have the freedom to pursue this path
to succeed. Just like my son and daughters who graduated from UC Irvine and
Cal Poly Pomona, and the many bright, devoted and dedicated young boys and
girls that I have had the privilege to work with for years. Their parents
encouraged them to excel, and these efforts should be rewarded.
Today, that equality of opportunity that the Constitution promised is
threatened. The Democratically-controlled California State Legislature is
preparing to tell you that it doesn't really matter how hard you work. With
the passage of Senate Constitutional Amendment (SCA) 5 on a party-line vote
in the State Senate, we are now one step closer to eliminating the principle
that hard work should be rewarded with better opportunities. If passed,
California public schools, including those in the University of California (
UC) and California State University (CSU) systems, will be allowed to
discriminate and provide preferential treatment to individuals based on race
, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. That's racism and not equality
of opportunity at all. It certainly won't populate our schools with
California's best and brightest.
I strongly oppose SCA 5 because I believe hard work and merit count. I urge
my fellow Californians to contact their state Assembly member today,
encouraging them to vote no to defeat this legislation.“ | s*******s 发帖数: 9926 | 2 zan
