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

The Best One Yet - 🦾 “McBot Burger-Flipper” — McDonald’s robo-restaurant. Tesla’s worst day. Google’s “code red.”
McDonald’s just opened its first ever robot restaurant… and it will forever kill the “soggy fry problem.” Google just issued a “Code Red” warning about its most important product (when Google goes Code Red, we pay attention).
