reason10 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Posted March 11, 2023 https://www.newsmax.com/politics/affirmative-action-race-congress/2023/03/10/id/1111898/ GOP Bill Prohibits Race-Based Hiring in Federal Government A group of House Republicans unveiled legislation Friday that prevents the federal government from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin for employment. The bill, forwarded by Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, also prevents the Biden administration, federal contractors, or other federal fund recipients from intentionally granting racial preferences in any domain. Tiffany is joined by fellow GOP Reps. Burgess Owens of Utah, Byron Donalds of Florida, and Michelle Steel of California for the Fairness, Anti-Discrimination and Individual Rights Act, which the Daily Caller first obtained. Were those left wing racists right about institutionalized racism in America? Apparently so. Democrat Rep. Nydia Velázquez of New York warned that the bill would render the existing 8(a) Small Business Administration program — with its discounted loans to minority-run companies — inoperable. "This reckless and short-sighted bill would destroy successful programs that have benefited socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses since the 1960s," stated Velázquez, ranking member of the House Small Business Committee. So JIM CROW in the federal government is being challenged, (like it was when Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act.) Quote
