Statement on Senate Constitutional Amendment 5
For Immediate Release

State Senate Candidate Dr. Long Pham released the following statement today:
"I was young when I immigrated to the United States from Vietnam. At the time, part of the ‘American Dream’ was that this country provided equality of opportunity. What that meant to me was: if you work hard, you will find success and prosperity.
"I believe that all individuals should have the freedom to pursue this path to succeed. Just like my son and daughters who graduated from UC Irvine and Cal Poly Pomona, and the many bright, devoted and dedicated young boys and girls that I have had the privilege to work with for years. Their parents encouraged them to excel, and these efforts should be rewarded.
"Today, that equality of opportunity that the Constitution promised is threatened. The Democratically-controlled California State Legislature is preparing to tell you that it doesn't really matter how hard you work. With the passage of Senate Constitutional Amendment (SCA) 5 on a party-line vote in the State Senate, we are now one step closer to eliminating the principle that hard work should be rewarded with better opportunities. If passed, California public schools, including those in the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems, will be allowed to discriminate and provide preferential treatment to individuals based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. That's racism and not equality of opportunity at all. It certainly won't populate our schools with California's best and brightest.
"I strongly oppose SCA 5 because I believe hard work and merit count. I urge my fellow Californians to contact their state Assembly member today, encouraging them to vote no to defeat this legislation."
State Senate candidate Long Pham is a former member of the Orange County Board of Education (08-12) and a former Vice-President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (1999-2003).

Pham, who worked successfully with thousands of engineering students and their faculty members in the states of California, Hawaii, and Nevada in his many leadership roles with the ASME for over 30 years, was previously honored by the California State University Fullerton for his community service in 1993. Long Pham and his wife have been married for 38 years with four grown children who all went to public schools in California.
