So, the CA state legislature has voted to remove legal protection against discrimination.

Apologies for the source, other sources such as the OC Register and Wall Street Journal are behind paywalls.
The vote was to remove the following language from the state's Constitution;
“The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group, on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.”
This begs the question, why would they do this? It seems rather contrary to the liberal position of equal treatment under the law.
