Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - Who killed the Shermans? Part One: Death Imitates Art

Headlines From The Times - California’s fight with affirmative action

The Supreme Court appears ready to abolish affirmative action later this year. The case seeking to declare it unconstitutional has schools that consider race in admissions worried about how they can continue to build diversity among their students without affirmative action.

Here in California, though, we already know what happens when programs like affirmative action are banned. In 1996, voters passed a first ballot initiative in the country to ban the consideration of race or gender and public education.

Today, how the University of California system has dealt with a 25-year ban on affirmative action. And what we can learn if a national ban does happen. Read the full transcript here. 

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: L.A. Times reporter Teresa Watanabe
