So, I dug up the Wikipedia page on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_California_Proposition_16
Now, I am the first to say that it is a complete fabrication that we actually live in a meritocracy. The research shows us that with convincing regularity. I am having a hard time with this, though. Based on this surface level research on ACA 5, it seems to be primarily aimed at allowing affirmative action programs to go forward in the state. However, this seems like one of those instances where a chainsaw is being used instead of a scalpel. Maybe they are relying on federal law to cover the anti-discrimination bases? I don't know what their thought process is with this one.
