Re:     Proposal 2


Proposal 2, a proposal to end discrimination in university admissions, government hiring and government contracting, must have opponents with a lot of money, judging by the TV ads in opposition to the proposal.

The ads show white mothers and their daughters warning us that their health could be placed in jeopardy if the proposal passes. This is a deliberate deception and a diversion tactic knowing full well that in California and the state of Washington, where a similar proposal was passed years ago, nothing of the sort ever occurred.

Let’s face it; it’s all about the University of Michigan. The only university in our state that still uses race as a factor in their admissions policy and they do not want to change.

U of M’s reasons may be well meaning but in my opinion, they are misguided. The voters in Michigan have a chance with Proposal 2, to compel U of M to stop discriminating and become color-blind in their admissions policy.
