The lawsuits and protests against Proposal 2 continue to mount. It's telling, however, that many state funded organizations are suing the state to block implementation of this voter-approved initiative.
La Shawn Barber has a great summary of this situation: Update on Fight to Maintain Lowered Standards for Blacks in Michigan
A favorite quote from within the story from Discriminations:
"One of the many odd things about the challenge to Proposition 2 (MCRI) filed by the University of Michigan, Michigan State, and Wayne State is that, as state-supported institutions, they are legally arms of the state. Thus one arm of the state of Michigan is suing the governor, an agent of the state of Michigan, to prevent the enforcement of a constitutional amendment adopted by the superiors of both of them, the people of Michigan" (Link)
Would it be too much to expect our elected officials to actually enforce the will of the people and prevent these state entities from suing us? I know that the various private wacko groups will still sue, but the state government should be able to stop state funded institutions from using our resources in lawsuits.
Then again, Wyandotte's idiot DDA sued the City for a year, and many of them survived.
