California Passes Reparations in College
Admissions, Despite Prop 209

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 9/14/2025 11:32:44 AM

The California legislature passed a bill last week that would provide reparations to descendants of slaves in the form of college admissions — despite Proposition 209, which forbids the use of race in college admissions. The bill, AB 7, provides that California State University, the University of California, independent institutions of higher education … and private postsecondary educational institutions … may consider providing a preference in admissions to an applicant who is a descendant of slavery.” It applies to anyone “who can establish direct lineage to a person who, before 1900, was subjected to American chattel slavery.”

Comments:

Saving democracy by ignoring Prop 209 which forbids it.

Your "reparations" are the K-12 "free" public education you've been afforded all your years. What you did with that education is what makes you what you are today. Another "handout" isn't going to make you "better." It only serves to kick your "can" down the road a little further. Besides, the blacks' "avenue to reparations" ended when all those other minorities began washing ashore from Asia, and elsewhere, minorities who needed NO government handout, only good parenting to emphasize the value of education and hard work as force multipliers in one's life.

How are these people going to prove their ancestors were slaves and not slave owners. After all over 10,000 Black families owned slaves before the Civil War.

Reparations in the form of admissions. Sounds like free indoctrination at the expense of the taxpayer. Another train wreck we can all watch.

Define "chattel slavery" and its time frame. My slave ancestor got here when the system was the informal and illegal "indentured servitude for life." He and his immediate descendants managed to escape the system. So, does a guy who was most likely a member of the 1619 "twenty and odd" coffle count or not? (Not that I'd ever want to get anywhere near a California school.)

A public school teacher has been suspended after allegedly showing a video of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to students as young as 10 in his class, authorities in Canada said. The teacher also suggested that Kirk deserved to be killed, and gave the young students a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues, according to a report. “Several students from his class went home and complained to their parents, traumatized at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over,” a source told the Toronto Sun after the shocking incident at a school in Toronto on Thursday.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated Wednesday while answering a question about transgender shooters, and the alleged assassin is a 22-year-old man with a transgender partner. Breitbart News reported that Kirk was shot and fatally wounded about 12:20 p.m. during a Q&A at a speaking event at Utah Valley University (UVU). Since then, law enforcement has identified and arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the shooting. Now, FOX News’ Brooke Singman is reporting that Robinson “lived with his his transgender partner.”

Deep-pocketed, out-of-state donors account for 78% of the nearly $2.4 million raised by a super PAC backing Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign. Lefties outside the Empire State wrote fat checks totaling $1,831,706 to the group, New Yorkers for Lower Costs, as of Friday, records showed. The sum included $762,631 from 26 California donors, with most of it coming from just two people. “Mamdani’s campaign isn’t about New York City — it’s about fueling a national socialist movement bankrolled by donors in California and beyond … with Hollywood and out-of-state activists trying to dictate the future of our city,” said Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign spokesman Todd Shapiro.

Office Depot is facing backlash and even boycott calls after a Michigan store allegedly refused to print a poster of slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk for a vigil, with a GOP official blasting the company online and calling the move censorship. Matthew DePerno, an attorney and Republican activist, said the Kalamazoo County Republican Party ordered the poster at 2:24 p.m. Friday from the Office Depot in Portage, MI, for a vigil honoring Kirk scheduled for that evening. But around 5:30 p.m., DePerno said a store print supervisor named “Beryl” called and told organizers the order would not be completed because the poster was “propaganda.”

The guy who asked Charlie Kirk about shootings at the very moment the TurningPointUSA founder's throat was pierced with a rifle shell, silencing him forever, was a 29-year-old TikToker who hates Kirk's guts. Now, of course, he is shocked to learn that Kirk is — was — a human being who bleeds just like he does. Suddenly, his past affinity for doing smart-ass man-on-the-street interviews with Charlie Kirk audience members to show his TikTok audience what idiotic Nazis conservatives are may have lost a little of its luster. That's okay, he'll rally. Hunter Kozak, a former LDS member turned adherent of the Apocryphal Sacred Temple of Righteous Anarchy,

A transgender comic book writer had their newly released project completely canceled by DC Comics after posts on BlueSky surfaced of them mocking the death of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. Gretchen Felker-Martin, who is transgender and uses "she/her" pronouns, had a major Batman spinoff called "Red Hood" canned despite having a significant launch just this Wednesday. Additionally, it was expected to see future releases all the way into late 2026. Now, Felker-Martin's pronouns can be changed to FA/FO. “At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints," a statement from the company shared with CNN reads.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized. Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted. Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But of course, uh, none of that is violent.”

The U.N.

The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution endorsing the “New York Declaration,” which sets out a phased plan to end the nearly 80-year conflict. The vote was 142-10 with 12 abstentions. Hours before the vote, Netanyahu said “there will be no Palestinian state.” He spoke at the signing of an agreement to expand settlements that will divide the West Bank, which the Palestinians insist must be part of their state, saying, “This place belongs to us.”

An appeals court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can begin deporting around 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Newsweek reached out to the White House and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via email on Friday evening for comment. Why It Matters DHS ordered half a million migrants to self-deport, issuing termination notices to nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who had entered the country under "humanitarian parole" programs that started under the administration of former President Joe Biden. This marked the first mass revocation of humanitarian parole, according to the Associated Press (AP).
