The issue of Affirmative Action started coming
up in January. Senators passed a measure that if approved would ban the
affirmative action California has on higher public education. However, there were
worries from the upper class that there will be no more space for their children
because of the minority groups. In 1996 a law was passed that forbids the state
to consider race, ethnicity or gender in hiring, contracting or admissions to
public institutions of higher education. People say that there are some groups
that are not well represented because they don’t make that much of the
population. The Chinese community is the ones who are talking more about the
whole affirmative action situation. The senator wanted to make sure that the
concerns of Asian Americans before doing anything. Several lawmakers in the
assembly opposed the proposal. None of the proposals of Hernandez have never been
enacted, he has only talked about them.
