From article:
Then in August 2001, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the University of Georgia's race-based admissions system.
The ruling, which applies to all states, set up a high barrier to the use of racial data in the admissions process.
The system in place before One Florida could not have passed the 11th Circuit's test and the court endorsed many of the tools used in One Florida, the governor's report said.
Meanwhile, the FL Dem gov candidates keep saying that if elected, they intend to return FL to affirmative action. How do they intend to do that, in light of this court ruling? Do facts ever get in the way here?
Bill McBride: "Janet Reno and I support
affirmative action -- even if the courts don't."

Traveling around the state defending his One Florida plan, Bush told Floridians it would work much better than affirmative action. But critics decried the plan, saying affirmative action needed to stay. Reno, McBride can keep touting the lie about affirmative action to appease the race hutlers. The press needs to hear the truth and then live with their consciences knowing they're pushing a lie for political purposes. Hi, summer!
