Not very long ago , Vito LaBella posted this on his campaign Facebook page:
"Vito LaBella > Stop Critical Race Theory... Sunday, July 3, 2022 at 7:11 PM... NY State is about to enshrine CRT tenets into their constitution.... [the LaBella post included a survey and mentioned a proposed NY State Senate resolution to amend the NYS Constitution]
This is what the cited Senate Resolution actually said and provides:
"... S51002 (ACTIVE) - SUMMARY... Provides that no person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof; provides no person shall, because of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed, religion, or sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive healthcare and autonomy, be subjected to any discrimination in their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution, or by the state or any agency or subdivision of the state...."
and the actual wording of the resolution is as follows:
"CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY... proposing an amendment to section 11 of article 1 of the constitution, in relation to equal protection... Section 1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 11 of article 1 of the constitution be amended to read as follows: ... § 11. A. No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof. No person shall, because of race, color, ETHNICITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN, AGE, DISABILITY, creed [or], religion, OR SEX, INCLUDING SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, GENDER
EXPRESSION, PREGNANCY, PREGNANCY OUTCOMES, AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE AND AUTONOMY, be subjected to any discrimination in [his or her] THEIR civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution, or by the state or any agency or subdivision of the state, PURSUANT TO LAW... B. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL INVALIDATE OR PREVENT THE ADOPTION OF ANY LAW, REGULATION, PROGRAM, OR PRACTICE THAT IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT OR DISMANTLE DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF A CHARACTERISTIC LISTED IN THIS SECTION, NOR SHALL ANY CHARACTERISTIC LISTED IN THIS SECTION BE INTERPRETED TO INTERFERE WITH, LIMIT, OR DENY THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF ANY PERSON BASED UPON ANY OTHER CHARACTERISTIC IDENTIFIED IN THIS SECTION.... §2. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That the foregoing amendment be referred to the first regular legislative session convening after the next succeeding general election of members of the assembly, and,in conformity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be published for 3 months previous to the time of such election."
NOTE: Nothing about "Critical Race Theory".....
Lately, the Brooklyn Republican and Conservative Parties have participated in campaigns on behalf of candidates like Vito LaBella and Brian Fox, who routinely campaign by making false statements >>> just like the one Vito LaBella made last Sunday on Facebook, which is the immediate subject of this posting.
Such false campaigning might temporarily stoke up a gullible and uninformed base, however the inevitable result of such false campaigning is lost credibility and ultimately fewer votes from the public when election day actually comes around. That's because what goes around, comes around.
