CA Gov. Newsom Signs Law Mandating Diversity Quotas for Corporate Boardrooms

Conservative Review: California governor Gavin Newsom (D.) on Wednesday signed legislation mandating publicly traded businesses to hire one diverse board member each by 2021.

Newsom signed a series of racial justice bills last night before their Oct. 1 expiration, including the boardroom diversity quota bill. In addition to adding one diverse member each by 2021, companies with four-person boards must have at least two diverse members, and nine-person boards must include at least three diverse directors by 2022 to meet the quota. California is the first state in the country to implement such a mandate.  read more

  1. Not the best person for the job. No. It has to be the color of a person, or what the person has between their legs. Leftists are all about appearances. Such idiocy!

  2. Only one? One token board member? All decisions by board committee are done by consensus of opinion. That’s why Hunter Biden is no threat to Burisma. He is one voice in a dozen or so others.

  3. That used to be called Affirmative Action. Sorta like Obama being preezy, only with less destructive results. On the flip side, this is good news for truly intelligent people who fill the requirement because they will be in hot demand. Being on the “board” isn’t a guarantee of long term employment. The other members can vote you off with legit reason.

  4. …because, fuck the Constitution in general and the 14th Amendment in particular, eh, Gav?

    …just like your aunt. Something she suggested in your post-coital pillow talk, maybe?

    …no matter, you’ll be reversed on appeal.

    …at the postwar tribunal you’ll be hung at…

  5. To paraphrase the oft repeated 1984 meme, Atlas Shrugged wasn’t meant to be a guidebook.

    Guess Gavin never read it because Going Galt is happening on a large scale right now in CA.

  6. …I’m only surprised he didn’t sign a Bedroom Diversity Bill while he was at it, requiring every White woman to conceive at least one minority child with a POC partner chosen for her by the State.

    It’s no more or less legal than what he’s already done anyway, so why the hell not? It IS even less MORAL, but THAT never bothers Dems now, does it…

    …but then, when you look at some of the places they want us to be like, such as modern South Africa, they’re probably pretty confident that’s coming ANYWAY, in more ways than one…

  7. It’s unfair that a white man be governor all the time. Make a diversity law that shares the governorship each day of the week. Monday: white man. Tuesday: black man. Wednesday: asian man Thursday: white woman. Friday: black woman Saturday: asian woman. Sunday: Hispanic man.

    Evidently this won’t work based on weeks. You’d have to do in by months to accommodate all the diversity that would include gays, transgenders, transvestites, people who identified as gay hippos, etc. Heck, why stop with monthly cycles?

  8. There’s many a Corporation in Silicon Valley that will be required to add white people to conform. Yea, that’s not happening. What a moron.
    This will be the straw that forces most remaining
    Corporations out of California. Then where will Newsom get revenue to replace what left? I guess gas prices are going up again.

  9. If they can tell large corporations what they have to do, they can tell a very small corporation the same thing.
    a government that can tell you thatyou can only have 10 bullets in your gun, can tell you can only have one or none.

  10. @Hambone – Boulder, CO for now. Yeah, it’s a blue area of a purple state, but I need to be able to visit my parents (and others) often. Long-term, we’ll see how CO goes but more likely SC. I love the ocean, in fact have been to the beach the last 3 days, and I want to stay in the same general latitude.

  11. Finally, this is a good time to mention that I’m a adopted African Albanian albino bilateral below knee amputee lesbian Dwarf in a cis gendered 6’1 male body..

    Justice!!!!
