The California legislature voted last week to strike anti-discrimination language from the State Constitution.

In a 30-10 vote, the legislature passed the Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 5 (ACA 5), which removes the words “The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin,” from California’s constitution, which were put in place in 1996 with Proposition 209.

They don't like not being able to pick and choose. So they remove the provision that disallows it.

Tolerance was only till the Left had power.

Or as Bob Hope one joked: he was leaving California before they made homosexuality mandatory.

Now all the California legislature has to do is figure out how they can get rid of the 14th amendment from the US constitution and they are home free

California's Demagogic Party has been trying to get rid of Prop 209 for years, including by setting illegal preference policies at individual universities. The Latino support for its removal wasn't enough, the Floyd Pretext was.

It’s fascinating how so many communistic left winger politicians are so racist. Right up the core. And even when their shock troops are rioting in the steeets, ha! The D party of slavery plantations and n.....s ride at the back of the bus. Hasn’t changed in over a century. Still racist

“””he state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatmentT to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin,”””


With all their affirmative action programs how has the State of California been able to escape litigation over “The state shall not grant preferential treatment” clause in their Constitution?

they COULD just be clearing the field and be preparing a whole new one that would include trannies, and drop the prohibition against preferential treatment.

I'll simplify it for them.

"The state shall not discriminate against white people. ESPECIALLY white males."

Well, we all now understand this is to MANDATE new laws discriminating against whites. Straights. Christian churches.

Flies in direct defiance of the 1964 Federal Civil Rights Act.

Will never survive Constitutional muster.

They’ll remove the language. But they will discriminate. Against white Christians. That’s their target.

Lesson 1... you can’t satisfy these anarchists.. if you gave them the world they’d have a war over who would be king.

It makes me sick to see mealy weak ignorant civilization give in to these sick bast____.

Like raising kids.. they understand leniency and they understand NO.

9+ million CA voters (about 1/2 & 1/2 For/Against) passed this as a constitutional amendment and 30 legislators remove it?

I’d be pissed.
