Civil Rights Report Posted Despite Republican Efforts
Lifted word for word from the MemoryBlog.
Yahoo! News - Civil Rights Panel to Wait to Discuss Bush
The report is online here and mirrored by The Memory Hole here.
From the Associated Press:
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights voted Friday to wait until after next month's election to discuss a report critical of the Bush administration's civil rights record. Republican members had objected to the report's timing. The report remains posted on the commission's Web site, however, despite objections from GOP commissioners who sought to get it removed. ...
The 180-page report written by commission staff says Bush "has neither exhibited leadership on pressing civil rights issues, nor taken actions that matched his words" on the subject. Among other criticisms, it finds fault with Bush's funding requests for civil rights enforcement agencies; his positions on voting rights, educational opportunity and affirmative action; and his actions against hate crimes.
The report offers some support for Bush, including citing a commitment to help people with disabilities and "a commendably diverse cabinet and moderately diverse judiciary."
