"Nebraska Civil Rights Initiative" Fills Coffers with California Money
Jun 02, 08:36 AM CST
The Lincoln Journal-Star profiled the race between Nebraskans United and their opponents:
The Nebraska Civil Rights Initiative, which is sponsoring the effort to end affirmative action, collected $117,000 last month. All of that came from the California-based American Civil Rights Initiative, the national effort to ban racial and gender preference in hiring and admissions decisions.
Meanwhile, Nebraskans United, the coalition opposing an affirmative-action ban, raised more than $263,000 last month.
All of that came from Nebraska residents and organizations, including $50,000 from Warren Buffett and $25,000 from the University of Nebraska Foundation. (emphasis added)
If that doesn’t demonstrate the dichotomy between the “Civil Rights Initiative” and Nebraskans United, I don’t know what does.
