"...Ward Connerly, the UC Regent appointed by Governor Pete Wilson, has introduced a dangerous, deceptive, and irresponsible initiative that he calls "The Racial Privacy Initiative," even though it has nothing to do with privacy and more to do with his political agenda.
The initiative is a radical measure that would damage our ability to address disparities by race or ethnicity in healthcare and disease patterns, educational resources and academic achievement, and hate crime and discrimination.
“The initiative is also deceptive, with a long list of confusing "exemptions" that are designed simply to provide its backers with one-line comebacks to the serious concerns experts have raised about its sweeping, irresponsible approach..."
