		<description><![CDATA[Here we go again. California voters barred their government from racial discrimination and preferences 14 years ago, but legislators don&#8217;t seem to care. These elected officials, who must uphold the state constitution, continue to try to circumvent it, without even trying to veil their attempts. Earlier this year, legislators introduced AB 2047, a bill that [...]]]></description>

The notion of holistic review is to consider the whole person, that is, the person&#8217;s life experiences. &#8220;I want a system that more effectively considers multiple [...]]]></description>
