<p>On this notion of “forced diversity”</p>
<p>We live in a world where, unfortunately, the government has to back programs in order to promote diversity. I’m not speaking of Affirmative Action specifically, but in general, when things are left the same, things will not be diverse. Ending Affirmative-Action and race conscious policies will only do one thing; increase de-facto segregation. The new argument (which is very crafty indeed) is that diversity has no special benefits. But that’s not where these Civil Rights Era policies came from, and that’s not the spirit of them. Things like Affirmative Action are put in place to stop de-facto segregation. Sure, the mechanism can be abused, but so can anything else. Not trying to be offensive, but if you think sitting for 4 hours on a Saturday and bubbling in answers that people spend and make billions of dollars on to coach and prepare for shows merit, you are mistaken. </p>
<p>So please, study the Civil Rights Movement. Segregation is completely detrimental to any democracy, and the past lawmakers of this country fought to end it. Prop 2 does not follow in that legacy.</p>
