<<<<July 25, 2003 Along with a decision on the political fate of Gov. Gray Davis, Californians will vote in October on a ballot initiative that would stop the state from collecting and using most kinds of racial and ethnic data. The initiative, sponsored by University of California Regent Ward Connerly, qualified for the ballot earlier this year and was expected to be voted on in the March 2004 primary election. But with a special statewide recall election now scheduled for Oct. 7, voters face an accelerated decision on Connerly's measure. >>>> That is fabulous, terrific news. Connerly strikes again. I have long thought that eliminating all racial classification data will go a long way towards making this country truly colorblind. If it is true that California leads the nation....maybe in 5-10 years such an idea can take hold in the U.S. Congress. Say, under Ms. Rice's presidency <g>.
