Dear Senator Hernandez,
Thanks for letting us know that you could not attend tonight’s town hall
meeting. We are a little bit disappointed, because on the one hand you
promised “a full and reasoned debate of this measure”, on the other hand
you tried hard to dodge the debate, not once, but twice.
In your letter you claimed “there is a great deal of misinformation”
regarding SCA5. Yet the biggest misinformation in the whole SCA5 drama came
from your press release: “As a result (of prop 209), there has been a
precipitous drop in the percentage of Latino, African American, and Native
American students at California public universities”. All the available
data, tables, charts and graphs from UC official web site work against your
unfounded claim. Even your own witness before senate education committee, Mr
. Trevino (UC Admissions Director) testified that “…The Latino numbers (
before prop209) were system wide about 13.2%; they have increased now to
over 26%...”
Your logic for restoring racial discrimination in California is mind-
boggling. You proposed to achieve the noble goal of “equal opportunity” by
means of racial discrimination. You suggested that to recruit “the best
and brightest students”, we have to lower the entrance bar for certain
group of people.
You are absolutely right that “Asian Americans still suffer discrimination
at campuses”. But this is not because of Prop 209 as you claimed, but
because politicians like you and your surrogates in California’s high
education system have been trying your best to circumvent Prop 209 and
suppress the presence of Asian-American students in the campus.
You are also right that SCA5 does not “alter the US. Supreme Court’s
rulings that explicitly prohibit quotas”, because you dare not. Instead you
are dancing at the boundary of the United States Constitution, and argued
in your previous statements that “California’s public universities and
colleges should have all tools at their disposal to ensure their campuses
reflect the demographics of our state.” This is not outright “quota”, but
it is no doubt the spirit of “quota”.
You said you are anticipating “ample opportunity for community input”. I
think in the last few weeks you have already had enough community input,
which is loud and clear: please kill this SCA5 measure, kill it now, and
kill it forever.
Truly yours,

UCLA法学院教授Richard Sander对AA的影响做了数十年的研究，是这方面的学术顶尖权威
http://seaphe.org/richardsander/
他从quantitative的层面证明了在高等教育上AA对受照顾的族裔实际上是有害的
他在这方面有很多一手数据，发表了很多paper和一本书
Hernandez在SCA5的bill analysis里用的数据根本就是错的
