. . . racial discrimination (and more) by removing these words from the state constitution: “The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to . . .
Democrats in California want to make it legal to discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, and national origin.
Do you want people like the Democrats in California to run our country?
If yes, be honest and start . . .
. . . prepping for California-style poverty (highest rate in the country), a Venezuela-style electric power grid (daily brownouts and blackouts), water shortages, the nation's highest gasoline prices, smaller police departments and larger departments to provide jobs for graduates of university social justice departments, sidewalks littered with human feces and used drug needles, continuing harassment of Christian churches, and now, open, proud, in-your-face discrimination on the basis of race, sex, etc.
Fed-up Californians can at least migrate to Texas, as they are now doing in droves. But where can you and I go after California-style Democrats take control of the entire nation?
Donald John Trump is a lot of things, but one thing he is not: a California-style Democrat.
Kamala Devi Harris is a California Democrat — literally — and she'll be around long after the Democrats' nominal presidential candidate shuffles off the stage.

Jon Miltimore explains the campaign by California Democrats to legalize discrimination:
Like the segregationists of the past, these supporters [of removing the anti-discrimination language] are openly and defiantly seeking to use state-sanctioned discrimination to advance a cause they see as noble. For white segregationists of the past, that cause was protecting the white race from mingling with other races and maintaining a firm grip on power in the South.
For social justice advocates today, discrimination is a tool to advance the interests of nonwhites, particularly in the university system, where applicants of certain races would be legally permitted to be given preferences.

[Equality] before the law is arguably the greatest pillar of a liberal society. It's an idea that reaches back across time and civilizations . . . .
Equality before the law is at the heart of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the enumerated rights carved out by the General Assembly of the United Nations at its third session in 1948. [Article 7] states clearly and proudly, "All are equal before the law and are entitled without discrimination to the equal protection of the law.'
To abandon such a principle is to abandon a cornerstone of the Enlightenment and classical liberalism, one of the greatest individual rights that has protected individuals from arbitrary rule and government abuse for centuries.
[Quoting economist Steve Horwitz:]
For most of human history political leaders acted with near total discretion, distributing benefits and impositions among their subjects however they like. One of the most important accomplishments of the liberal movement was to subject those with political power to rules. Starting with the Magna Carta and up through the democratic revolutions and constitutions of the eighteenth century, liberalism worked to create a society ruled by laws and not men.

Fortunately, Californians will have the opportunity to vote on equality before the law in November. We can only hope . . . California voters show more wisdom than the lawmakers running their state.
(Jon Miltimore, "California Legislature Votes to Strike 'the State Shall Not Discriminate' from Constitution, Opening the Door to Legalized Discrimination," fee.org, June 26, 2020)
Californians will indeed have the opportunity to vote on legalized discrimination. It is a fond hope, however, that an electorate of California Democrats will stand in the way of the social justice warriors pushing legalized discrimination.
