Women's WebWorld -- The Feminist Majority Online http://www.feminist.org **************************************************************** Deceptive 'Civil Rights' Initiative Would Legalize Sex Discrimination Activists are mobilizing from campuses around the country to spend their summer in California to register and educate voters to defeat the anti-affirmative action initiative on the November ballot. There are similar measures circulating in 17 states and at the federal level. If passed, these initiatives would not only outlaw affirmative action programs for women and people of color, but would also legalize sex discrimination.
