Some good election news here. The sniveling by the snowflakes quoted in the article is quite revolting however.

Critical Race Theory is poison and is deliberately about destroying social cohesion. Many people see through it for what it is.

Affirmative action is the very definition of systemic racism.

No big deal, some federal judge will just step in and nullify the will of the people. Easy peasey, not a problem.

Snivelling, or perhaps something that also carries the hint of a: “gee, it would be a shame if something were to happen...” type of veiled threat?

Student leaders from the University of California haven’t been educated about nor do they understand the meaning and value of freedom and free choice versus government coercion and edict.

Are they saying they don’t want people judged on merit? Are these kids some kind of waycissts that think minorities are too dumb to succeed on a level playing field?

They probably just aren’t done harvesting ballots yet.

It’s still early.

In 2018, the day after the election, I was surprised how many of my votes appeared to have been going my way. Unusual for CA. Generally my votes are always opposite to the final result. In fact I’m suspicious when my vote matches the final outcome in CA and indicates I likely voted incorrectly.

And then, in 2018, a week later they had harvested more votes and things had reversed.

You students are stupid and don’t know how to think. Your opinions are worth nothing, like your college “education.”

I don’t know why we don’t go the whole way and re-establish racial segregation as a progressive idea.

Exactly or the CA legislature will do it for them!

It seems that most ballot initiatives in CA that are awful outright fail. Then they just pass it through with legislation. I’ve become convinced that CA uses ballot initiatives not to pass anything but to gauge how far can they take an agenda without too much pushback.

Critical Race Theory is basically a rewriting of Mein Kampf to blame everything on white people.

Oh no, you misunderstand, this is so they can be biased against Asians. It’s about helping the RIGHT minorities.

Because ‘California students’ is a single entity with only one opinion on the subject.

I detest our media.

Tells me the vote was rigged there, too. How many voted on that issue???

It doesn’t matter anyway. The courts rule California.

I once heard a white liberal say to a radical black who wore a button saying “Bury Bakke”

“Hey, I got mine” (so why do I care?)
