Affirmative Action
Gets Opposition

Breakfast Special

Jews bucked the anti-affirma-
tive action trend in California,
where voters last week approved
Proposition 209 — a ballot ini-
tiative banning the use of race
and gender preferences in pub-
lic hiring, contracting and edu-
cation.
The amendment to the state's
constitution passed by a 54-to-46
percent margin after months of
bitter debate and some outright
demagoguery.
But 58 percent of Jewish vot-
ers, according to a Los Angeles
Times exit poll, opposed the
proposition, a number that
stunned Jewish activists in the
state.
"I would have bet the farm
that it would have gone the oth-
er way," said an official of a na-
tional Jewish group active in the
state. "There was a strong feel-
ing that the [Jewish] groups that
opposed the measure were not re-
flecting the sentiment of the 'pok-
er-playing Jews,' who feel
threatened by quotas."
That sentiment was not re-
flected in the final numbers. Jew-
ish women, in particular —
pinpointed in some studies as dis-
proportionate beneficiaries of af-
firmative action programs —
were particularly hostile to the
proposition.
Passage of the initiative
touched off protests across the
state; the American Civil Liber-
ties Union quickly filed suit to 4
block the measure. - President
Clinton, who opposed the propo-
sition, is being pressured by civ-
il rights groups to openly fight
the anti- affirmative action
move.
Jewish and civil rights leaders
now expect a number of copy-cat
resolutions across the country.
And the success of Proposition
209 will give a boost to congres-
sional efforts to legislate away af- 4
firmative action.

Whitman Spurs
Tunnel Debate

Pity the poor politician who tries
to win political points by jump-
ing into the Middle East mess.
That's just what New Jersey
Gov. Christine Todd Whitman 4
did while planning her itinerary
for this week's trip to Israel.
First, Ms. Whitman — who
was traveling with a group of
100 New Jersey business lead-
ers — announced plans to visit
the controversial archaeological
tunnel alongside the Temple
Mount, as well as the Golan
Heights. No doubt she was 4
thinking less about archaeology
and more about her state's large
population of politically conser-
vative Jews who think Mr. Ne-
