Re: “Affirmative action ballot issue could be a setback for women”, Oct. 30.
I am surprised that the Detroit News allowed itself to be influenced by the diversionary tactics of opponents of Proposal 2, “ Affirmative action ballot issue could be a setback for women”, Oct. 30 editorial.
California and the state of Washington have passed similar proposals a few years ago and women there have not experienced any setbacks, so why even bring up the argument.
Putting all diversions aside, the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (Proposal 2) is about the University of Michigan and the fact that it is the only school in Michigan still using race as a factor in their admissions policy.
Supporters of Proposal 2 want U of M to stop discriminating and become color blind when accepting or rejecting applicants for admission.
