<human>: We have **Prop 209** (also known as the California Civil Rights Initiative) which amended the state constitution to prohibit state government institutions from considering race, sex, or ethnicity, specifically in the areas of 

1. public employment 
2. public contracting 
3. **public education**

*Is this not a form of discrimination since it's targeting Asian-Americans?* (Sorry if I'm biased, but I'm one of them).

Now **SCA-5** will allow the State of California to deny an individual or group's rights to public education on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.

Which, I believe, violates the *Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment*.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: California Senate approved SCA-5 which may violate Prop 209 and the Fourteenth Amendment. Looking for an explanation on why this would be legal.
