Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) rises on the Senate Floor
to argue against passage of Senate Constitutional Amendment (SCA) 5, which
proposes that the California Constitution be amended to permit public
schools, colleges, and universities in California to discriminate against,
or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of
race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin -- not only in admissions,
but also in employment and contracting. The American Civil Rights Coalition
writes, "In 1996 the people of California voted overwhelmingly to end race
preferences in public employment, public contracting, and public education.
They voted to raise the bar on Constitutional protections against
discrimination by bringing the 1964 Civil Rights Act to our state. In the 17
years Prop 209 has been in effect, California has led the way towards color
-blind government and increased graduation rates in Higher Education by
using race and gender neutral policies. Now SCA 5 seeks to roll back the
clock to an era of race conscious policies that treat students differently
based on their race or ethnicity." Senator Huff serves as the Senate
Republican Leader and represents the 29th Senate District covering portions
of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Follow Senator Huff on
