Arizona voters will decide in November whether to ban state and local governments from discrimination or preferential treatment based on race, ethnicity and sex.
The state constitutional amendment doesn’t use the term “affirmative action,” but there is no disputing that is what Proposition 107 is aimed at eliminating. Such programs generally give preferences to minorities.
Proponents include Ward Connerly, a businessman and former California education official who has championed the cause for years. He argues that affirmative action is no longer needed.
Opponents argue that Arizona eliminated affirmative action years ago and now only has programs that help qualified people succeed in their fields.
Voters in four states have approved similar measures in recent years.
