California Senate Constitutional Amendment 5 (Sca-5) Reports Example

The California Senate Constitutional Amendment No.5 (SCA-5), according to Tanenhaus and Gale (2008) was started by the Senate of California on 3rd December 2012 by Edward Hernandez. The initiative asked voters to eliminate the previous California proposition of 209 which banned racism, color, sex, national origin in the processes such as admissions, recruitment and the retention Programs in California especially in public universities and colleges.
Rightly, the SCA-5 proscribes the State from granting preferential treatment or discriminating against any person or a group on the basis of color, race, sex, national origin, or ethnicity while operating in public contracting, public employment, and/or public education. For a long time, Anti-black prejudice has been entrenched in (East) Asia America. Endeavoring towards eliminating such prejudice is a great step towards the American Dream. Plainly, it is painful to see people having biased opinion towards communities, or other people or see people being denied their constitutional right without any merit being followed.
On the other hand, the bill has met a lot of resistance from advocates of Asian American community. They have established that the bill would overlook academically strong applicants and give preference to other ethnic groups. Even with mixed reactions towards the SCA-5, the underlying fact is that, in order for California to succeed in fighting prejudice, implementation of the law must be enforced to the letter. Equality is a fundamental practice for the socio-economic development and reduction of security concerns among the citizenry.
In conclusion, it is not right to discriminate against each other’s race, sex and ethnicity. Public institutions should embrace diversity and actually in so doing they will get to learn about other people from a different culture.
