As reported by the Detroit ''Metro Times'', People for the American Way described IJ as one of the litigation groups that "have eagerly sought out potential court challenges in lower-income urban communities and loudly claim the mantle of supporters of education for the disadvantaged. In the past, Clint Bolick's Institute for Justice was better known for his vehement animosity towards virtually every proposed civil rights bill. He even opposed those bills supported by Presidents Nixon and Bush. For example, he branded the 1991 Civil Rights Act as a 'quota' bill, even after it was supported by President Bush and 90 percent of the Congress."<ref name="metro times">Curt Guyette, "[http://www2.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=9712" You don’t know Dick]," ''Metro Times'', October 4, 2006.
