Title: More ACLU Hypocrisy Post by: Soldier4Christ on December 20, 2006, 09:58:18 PM The aclu is always filing lawsuits against racial profiling, now they are in support of a court decision that allows a university to use race and gender in consideration of selecting their student body.
From their own website: ____________ ACLU, NAACP File Lawsuit to Allow University of Michigan Admissions Programs to Continue DETROIT - Filing a lawsuit today on behalf of 19 students, faculty and applicants to the University of Michigan, a coalition of civil rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP, are asking a federal court to declare that the newly passed Proposal 2 has not changed the Supreme Court’s view, stated as recently as 2003, that it is constitutionally permissible for universities to consider race and gender as one factor among many in university admissions. "We are pleased to be able to represent current students and faculty, as well as prospective students, in a case that will be the first to evaluate exactly what Proposal 2 means in this state," said Kary Moss, Executive Director of the ACLU of Michigan. "The recent decisions by the United States Supreme Court made clear that it is entirely within the law for universities to consider race or gender as one of many criteria in selecting their student body. Proposal 2 should not change that." *snip* |
