Ward Connerly's trumpet blast

摘要

All Joshua had to do was get seven priests to blow their trumpets and the walls of Jericho collapsed. In California, after a long campaign, a majority of the voters chose to abolish positive discrimination last November; but, far from collapsing, the system of group preferences looks more resilient than ever. Abolition is held up in court, and many of its hard-core supporters have begun to have second thoughts. Positive discrimination's defenders might be forgiven for thinking.that all they need to do is sit tight and Proposition 209 will recede into history. If they do, they reckon without Ward Connerly.
