Grebbs, P.J.,
(concurring). I agree with the majority that, under the current state of Michigan jurisprudence, defendant’s insulation from liability under title VII also, in effect, insulates it under the Michigan *457Civil Rights Act. See Victorson v Dep’t of Treasury, 439 Mich 131; 482 NW2d 685 (1992).
I write separately, however, to again state my view that the Civil Rights Act clearly and unambiguously provides that a voluntary affirmative action program is invalid unless it has been approved by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. As I stated in Victorson v Dep’t of Treasury, 183 Mich App 318, 323; 454 NW2d 256 (1990), rev’d 439 Mich 131; 482 NW2d 685 (1992), “[t]he mere fact that a statute appears impolitic or unwise is not sufficient for judicial construction but is a matter for the Legislature.” I urge the Supreme Court to revisit this matter.
