Affirmative Actions days are numbered

Ward Connerly: Affirmative Action Over


The days of the much-criticized affirmative action policy are numbered, the program's biggest critic says.

"I think the end is at hand for affirmative action as we know it," former University of California regent Ward Connolly told the Los Angeles Times, noting that an "anti-affirmative action wave washing over America" will bring to an end the race-based preferences used for decades to help African-Americans, Latinos and other disadvantaged ethnic groups. No one in America, he said, should receive preference in education, jobs or government contracts because of their skin color or sex.

Encouraged by his victory in Michigan, where a ballot measure banning racial preferences in public education and hiring won handily, Connerly said he is considering sponsoring similar ballot measures in one or more states, including Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Missouri or South Dakota.
