Bill to end DEI in public colleges passes in the KY House /* VETOED by the governor

[Mordith]

Both sides strikes again.

 

[King Poetic]

It’s going to pass in every red state, if brought up

Shocking

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

KY has a Dem Governor that likely won't sign it. I don't know the State Congress numbers but if they have a super majority, they could override the Dem's veto.

They have one.

asians, like your wife, formed like Voltron and voted against it en masse.

En masses. Over 9 million people voted against the bill. You're saying the 9 million asians in California shot it down by themselves. Men women and children......... sounds shaky.


Liberal bigots. Incredible

That's what will happen. He said he's not going to sign, but they have the numbers.

It’s amazing how they continue to be scared of a demographic that’s already at the bottom, as if these little programs are doing anything to truly adversely affect them

They are not scared. It's like running up the score in a blow-out game.
