I have written about Proposal 2 here in Michigan at some length. It ended discrimination in University of Michigan admissions and also in government hiring and contracting.
Millions was spent on trying to defeat it. Who was spending those millions? I don't know but U of M is an arrogant school with lots of money. Mary Coleman, the president there, is arrogant and a flaming liberal, making the school the only one in the state that still uses race as a big factor in admissions. You know my feelings on this issue - just read previous blogs.
The proposal passed - by a wide margin. I was surprised because of all the lying commercials, never mentioning race, only white women and their daughters and how their health would be affected if the proposal passes.
Right before the election, the local paper published my letters disputing the ads and promoting the proposal.
The people spoke. They wanted an end to discrimination in the admissions policy of U of M. Today, U of M filed a legal challenge to the proposal. A legal challenge to the will of the people. Do you see why ARROGANT fits the school administration?
Now they, just like the Bush Republicans need to be slapped into reality. They get our tax money and therefore they do our bidding - the tax payers - their bosses. We need to tell them what we want -period.
