More MCRI Misinformation

Opponents of the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative continue trying to scare women by putting out patently false predictions of what MCRI would do.

Here’s one more typical example:

Affirmative action policies, including local school efforts to encourage high school girls to consider careers in science and engineering, outreach to ensure that qualified women are considered for state and local government jobs and contracts, help overcome discrimination women face in obtaining equal pay for equal work.

“These equal opportunity policies would be eliminated if the misnamed Michigan Civil Rights Initiative is approved by voters in November,” said Judy Karandjeff, executive director of the Michigan Women’s Commission. “This proposal would ban affirmative action programs that help women and minorities have an opportunity for better jobs and education.”

MCRI would do nothing whatsoever to interfere with programs such as those mentioned above.

Say What?
