Anti-Race Preference Languages Passes the House?

This bit of news did not make the mainstream media, at least I didn't see it.
an amendment to the Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill, which would bar preferences in federal contracting, passed the House of Representatives.

The language, introduced by Congressman Tim Walberg, reads: “An amendment to prohibit the use of funds be[ing] used by the Department of Transportation to promulgate regulations based on race, ethnicity, or sex.”

In other words, these agencies can’t consider race, ethnicity, or sex when hiring contractors with federal funds. No more set-asides.
