For such a purpose, the American Civil Rights Coalition (ACRC) is a leader in the campaign for the state to adopt constitutional amendments banning “affirmative action” policy. Regarding the effect of a primary battle between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is the “affirmative action”, the debate, Ward Connerly, chairman of the ACRC, said: “During the days of the” yes action “perhaps not completely at the end, the days Being clearly numbered. For civil rights, the fight is the main piece of evidence “institutionalized discrimination is over, and even though it is perhaps the race pocket and discrimination based on sex,” nobody can say that Discrimination is widespread throughout the country. ” ACRC country is actively seeking governments to adopt the amendment of the prohibition of discrimination and preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, in the fields naročnikov by public education or public employment. This year, 10 countries ACRC plans to action - Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, and - and the best solution is to move with three to five countries.

Somewhere along the line, Mr. Connerly, “affirmative action” has evolved in the case, we are trying to remove it. “Not all, however, the rights of citizens is in favour, shares and Mr. Connerly ’s Vision. “As we feared, Connerly’s attack on the Equal Opportunities metastases in Michigan,” Wade Henderson, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, said MSNBC. “We know that most Americans support equal opportunities. They know that diversity is good for the economy, good for education and, ultimately, good for the country. “ |
