Description[?]:
| The present government positon does not regulate hiring policies and allows companies to discriminate, it says: Our government does not believe that the minority groups are the equals of the majority Our government does not wish to treat all men as ends in themselves, we prefer to treat some as statistical counters. Our government is not concerned about employing the best people available, but prefers to play politics with peoples lives. We find this abhorrent. There is a basic human principle that all people are equal before the law, in all forms of law. Thus we request that this government makes a stand against all discriminatory and derrogatory practices. |

| Message | Against, if companies want to set an example in hiring people of a different race or different sexual orientation, we should let them. And not all discrimination is negative, there are numerous examples of positive discrimination (for instance, special schools for blind children). |
