Grand Old Partisan appreciates the GOP's 1991 Civil Rights Act. President George H. Bush signed it on November 21st. Senator John Danforth, a Missouri Republican, had introduced the bill two months before. This law improved procedures for asserting federal protection against employment discrimination.
President Bush stated it: "promotes the goals of ridding the workplace of discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, and disability; ensuring that employers can hire on the basis of merit and ability without the fear of unwarranted litigation; and ensuring that aggrieved parties have effective remedies. This law will not lead to quotas, which are inconsistent with equal opportunity and merit-based hiring; nor does it create incentives for needless litigation.
The President said that "advancing the American dream of equal opportunity will require bold action to reform our educational system, reclaim our inner cities from violence and drugs, stimulate job creation and economic growth, and nurture the American genius for voluntary community service. My Administration is strongly committed to action in all these areas, and I look forward to continuing the effort we celebrate here today."
