MY REAL CLEAR OP-ED: The California Legislature itching to repeal Proposition 209. But repealing the state constitution’s ban on race and sex preferences will end up harming the very students the legislators think they are helping.

Here’s the online petition opposing the California Legislature’s ACA-5. Currently, Proposition 209 prohibits the state from considering race or sex in deciding who gets a job, who gets into the most selective state universities, or who gets a public contract. If passed, ACA-5 will put the repeal of that provision on the ballot in November. Please sign if you can (if you haven’t done so already).
