Written by Nicholas Vetrisek<\/em><\/p>\n

A new bill proposed by Democrats in the State Assembly is once again pushing racist policies in an attempt to address artificial grievances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AB 979, authored by Chris Holden and\u00a0Cristina\u00a0Garcia, would force companies to have a certain number of Black, Hispanic, and Native Americans on their corporate boards. The bill itself is ridiculous, but the justifications for it are far worse. Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez used as justification the fact that despite Latina women being 40% of the female population of California, they only make up 3% of the population of corporate boards. This sort of reasoning is common for leftists and sounds like it would stop any argument in its tracks, but the truth is that it doesn\u2019t mean anything at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

FYI, they are now recreating this bill for race, in addition to gender, but specifically excluding Asians. #AB979<\/a> \ud83e\uddd0 And with gender quotas increasing per #SB826<\/a>, corporations will have very little say in who sits on their board of directors. Are we really ok with this? https:\/\/t.co\/zPTKQhIejL<\/a><\/p>\n
