Piece Description
Katherine Spillar, Executive Editor, Ms. Magazine and Executive Vice President, Feminist Majority Foundation tells us about the current attack on affirmative action. Ward Connerly an African-American businessman is sponsoring ballot initiatives around the country that are deceptive - while having names like Michigan Civil Rights Initiative - the laws actually gut affirmative action. This effort has been successful in California and Michigan. There are current efforts underway in Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, Nebraska and Oklahoma to pass similar ballot initiatives. Katherine Spillar tells us about MS magazines investigative report on this issue which 'followed the money'. Who is really behind this? Big business - private contractors who are then free to operate without the constraints of affirmative action. Since affirmative action enjoys great public support - these initiatives with names that SEEM to support civil rights have passed easily. Let your listeners know about these deceptive practices!
