Imagine the diversity our nation could have if Richard Nixon had not amended the 1964 Civil Rights Act in 1969 to include women.
Imagine walking into a human resources or public relations offier, or watching television news, and seeing black men, people of Indian descent (country); native Americans, people of southeast Asian descent - instead of white women because they are the protected majority in the workforce. Imagine gay men and women in HR and PR!
It was a president who established the amendment to the law. Let's ask the current president to rescind it.
Women exceed 54 percent of the workforce but enjoy a minority protected class. Some fields, like human resources and public relations, are almost exclusively female. Let's return diversity to the workforce.
