This news from Florida. As Governor Jeb Bush defended his decision to end affirmative action for university admissions and state contracts, thousands of people gathered nearby to rally against the policy, singing “We Shall Overcome” and waving signs reading “Jeb Crow” and “Bushwhack.” Approximately 10,000 people demonstrated against the Governor’s One Florida plan. It bans consideration of race and gender in admissions to the state’s ten public universities and in the awarding of state contracts.
