Jeb Bush Roils Florida on Affirmative Action
By PETER T. KILBORN
Published: February 4, 2000
From school vouchers to the death penalty, Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida has had one political success after another in his first year in office. But his sweeping program to end affirmative action in the state, modeled partly after the one in his brother's state, Texas, has inflamed black leaders, even some who had supported him, and looms as the first real test of his administration.
The passions that have been swirling around his program, which among other things gives a break in college admissions to the poor instead of minorities, broke out in a historic theater in downtown Miami today, where 1,700 protesters filled the seats in the orchestra and balcony and hundreds more circled the block waiting their turn to get in.
Mr. Bush, a Republican, put his program,
One Florida,
into effect by executive order last November without inviting public comment, and he did not attend a hearing before 600 people last week in Tampa. But today he stayed for more than two hours, often taking notes. |
