The Wall Street Journal: Preferences Forever?
Preferences Forever?
The University of Michigan’s president does her best George Wallace impersonation.
Michigan voters struck a blow for equality this month, when 58% of them approved an amendment to the state constitution banning racial discrimination in public universities and contracting. Almost identical measures have previously passed by similar majorities in California and Washington state. That means the original meaning of the 1964 Civil Rights Act–that racial discrimination of any kind is illegal–has won reaffirmation in three liberal states, none of which have voted for a Republican for president since 1988. Supporters now plan to carry the fight to other states.
