New civil rights bill
ploy for re-election
Imagine that. A new c :ivil rights bill, just in time
for re-elect ion ‘02 — and all without sacrificing the
good »1‘ white-boy vote.
After two years of civil rights legislation battle be
tween the White Mouse and Congress. President Hush
said he'd sign a compromise civil rights bill ret ently
passer) by Congress
The bill makes it easier lor those experiencing job
discrimination to sue their employers, somewhat inak
ing up for the 1 ‘189.Supreme Court ridings that made d
harder for minorities and women to prove discrimina
tion
The measure doesn't allow quot-a hiring prat lice's.

< a s moneyed fol k
Non-quota and increased legal-power reasoning
tads right into line with conservative ideology, ■ ap
posed I y empowering suppressed groups with the
means to help themselves out of tlu-ir "lowly’ post
lions
What ■-those supporting this Sedef don't realize is
quota hiring is often necessary to get minorities and
women a job in the first place.
This country's conservative popular <■ likes to voice
the "everyone is equal" dogma stating everyone
even minorities and women are on equal terms This
being true, something like quotas isn't necessary
Quotas, however, are- often still necessary to force
open long-locked doors I'nfortunntc-ly. t!u-'< can also
lead to the hiring of subqualified people to id! legislat
i'd holes
The answer isn't i 'ear i at, but one thing's for sure
Hu: increased legal power wall give minorities and
women the authority to forr.e employers to treat them
as equals once they re in th• • door
The measure also added protection ag-m st gender
bused job discrimination and sesuai harassment as a
