Almost ten years have passed since the State legislature first considered bills to permit racial preferences in public education in 2004. During that time, Latino enrollment in the U.C. has grown from 24,771 in 2003 to 41,810 in 2012, percentagewise, from 12.59% to 19.2% of the U.C. domestic student body (data source: http://legacy-its.ucop.edu/uwnews/stat/ ). Latino students are doing better at school year over year.
So, please don't give up on them so easily. They don't need racial tickets. They just need to study a bit harder, get a high school diploma, and complete the prerequisite courses for attending a university. I know quite a few Latinos, they are honest, smart and work very hard. If Latinos really want to do something, they can achieve it by their own effort.
As the attached paper shows, since Latino girls are doing 60% better than Latino boys, all you need to do is to help the boys study more. There are attendance laws that require students to study. By enforcing these existing laws, we should see substantial improvement in the U.C. enrollment rate for Latinos. There is no need to institutionalize racial discrimination in the State Constitution in any shape or form.
It is an odious and ominous proposition to permit racial
discrimination by the State. SCA5 reminds us of the 1879 California Constitution,
which had a discriminatory section titled "CHINESE" in it. SCA5 makes a lot
of people having sleepless nights, some preparing to struggle against it,
others fearful of a future when constitutional rights of minorities are
trampled through democratic processes . SCA5 violates Equal Protection and is
very dangerous to the racially diverse
Please withdraw/STOP SCA5.
Than you for your consideration.
