Tennessee state senator’s bill would ban diversity programs on college campuses

A Tennessee state senator has introduced a bill that would abolish diversity programs, ban diversity officers and end preference based on race, ethnicity and gender on college campuses in the Volunteer State.
 
Republican Jim Summerville calls his slate of legislation the “Civil Rights Initiative of 2013,” reports Knoxville NBC affiliate WBIR-TV. In addition to forbidding diversity preference programs, the proposal would prohibit the state from keeping any statistics based on race, gender or ethnicity, or using those criteria for hiring, except as mandated by federal law.
 
“It’s a little demeaning, I think, to classify people in those categories,” Summerville told WBIR. “They might wonder ‘Am I here because I’m any good or am I here to fill a quota?’ So I think it’s time to let this go.”

It's about time to end this crap

NC governor got in trouble a couple of days ago when he wanted to end degrees that don't lead to a job......such as "Women's Studies" and other gender based degrees.

Why not just remove the box asking about race on the applications?
