Proposal 2...

[lefthandedkaerf]

I support Proposal 2.

I thinks it's important for people to support it.
It's silly for people to be against proposal 2 because the democratic party in general is.
You should read it.

• Affirmative action in public contracting, including not only those efforts with explicit goals but also outreach programs and notification of bidding opportunities for women- and minority-owned businesses.

• Diversity considerations in appointments made by the governor to Corrections Boards; for instance, the requirement that persons appointed to the Youthful Offender Parole Board "reflect as nearly as possible a cross section of the racial, sexual, economic, and geographic features of the state.”

• Civil Service Affirmative Action Program.

• Public contracting requirements to include businesses owned by minorities, women, and disabled veterans.

• Diversity and affirmative action considerations in hiring of community college faculty and administrators. Subsequently, references to race and gender in those programs either have been eliminated or have been replaced by socioeconomic status, which is a highly problematic proxy for race, since not all under represented minorities have low incomes and even those who are affluent may still experience bias and discrimination. Socioeconomic status is ineffective as a proxy for gender."

etc., etc.
