The intention of proposition 209 in california was to help minority students get into college. overturn regents v. bakke. oppose affirmative action. help minority contractors get jobs.

Measure 209 is a 1996 California ballot proposition that amended the state constitution to prevent state governmental institutions from considering race, gender, or ethnicity, specifically in the fields of public employment, public contracting, and public education.

What was the primary justification behind Proposition 209?

Originally, true "affirmative action" meant no discrimination and a desire to provide opportunities. As a result, Proposition 209 forbids discrimination and preferences while allowing any program that does not discriminate or prefer based on race or gender to remain.

The only honest and successful method to combat opportunity inequality is to ensure that all California children have the tools they need to compete in our society. Then let them succeed on a level playing field, regardless of color, race, or gender.

Thus Option C is correct.
