Last week, the Reparations Task Force in California, a state where slavery was never legal, just released its final 1,100-page report, which includes more than 100 policy recommendations.
THE SUPREME COURT SAVED THE CONSTITUTION FROM BIDENFirst, while the report does not give a specific dollar amount that should be paid, CNN reported that it used a formula that concludes each eligible resident may be owed up to $1.2 million. The report emphasizes that the final estimates are “conservative.” But, then again, so did those who made proposals for payment of up to $5 million per resident. I’d like to see what an upper-end estimate looks like according to the task force.
Yet that is still just the beginning. The report recommended that the state abolish the death penalty, make Election Day a national holiday, do a systematic review of school discipline data in order to disrupt the “school-to-prison pipeline,” and eliminate all “back child support debt.” Additionally, it calls to “eliminate disparities” — the word “disparities” was used 450 times in the report — in domains such as STEM, prisons, and education. But how exactly those disparities ought to be “eliminated” is largely left unclear.
