Vote NO to SCA 5!

Dear California State Assembly Members,

 

1/30/2014 marked the darkest day in California’s recent history of politics. On this day, the California Senate approved SCA-5, which would appeal provisions of Prop 209 and allow the State of California to discriminate an individual or group's rights for getting public education on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.

 

To understand SCA-5, we have to remember what Prop. 209 is. In November 1996, Proposition 209 (also known as the California Civil Rights Initiative) amended the state constitution to “prohibit state government institutions from considering race, sex, or ethnicity, specifically in the areas of 1) public employment, 2) public contracting or 3) public education.”  In the 18 years that Prop 209 has been in effect, California has become the most diversified state in the US. Also, comprehensive measures have been introduced to help students from disadvantaged families to obtain higher education, which have our full support.

 

Now SCA-5 seeks to REMOVE any mentioning of “public education” in Prop. 209. This will roll back the clock to unfairly discriminate a student simply based on her/his race. If it succeeded, what will be the next in its supporters’ mind to be removed among the the rest two areas (public employment and public contracting) in Prop. 209?

 

The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution clearly states that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The SCA-5 is wrong and in violation of the US Constitution.

We hereby urge you to vote NO to SCA 5!
