I don't know, that article makes it sound like he's just executing some goals and laws of legislation passed in 1968.

quote:

Besides banning outright discrimination, the 1968 law required cities that receive federal housing money to promote equal opportunity and access to housing regardless of race, origin, religion, sex or disability. But little was done at the time or in the years since to explain precisely what the law's requirement to "affirmatively further" such goals meant or how to achieve that.


But the article really isn't all that informative.

The Fair Housing Act outlawed overt discrimination.

This extension of power is about enforcing equal outcomes.

There's a difference. This is over-reach. Every neighborhood, city, street is now under scrutiny until it achieves the government mandated diversity ratio.

This type of government attempt at enforcement of equal outcomes ruined big city public schools. It will have a similar impact on the cities themselves. Its a bigger deal than I think some of you realize.
