Finally someone has tried to put a stop to liberal's illogical quest for equality at any cost. This time that someone got to be the Supreme Court……
In a 5-4 decisions the Supreme Court ruled that the 20 New Haven, Connecticut firefighters whose tests scores EARNED a promotion were unfairly thrown out. Why were these tests scores thrown out you may ask? -Because 19 out of the 20 firefighters who EARNED the promotion were white! (I guess they forgot to mention that 1 firefighter who EARNED the promotion was Hispanic)
Apparently the Civil Service Board decided to strip these firefighters of their promotion because they……
1. Wanted to increase diversity
2. Assumed that since no African Americans scored high, then the test it must be racist
3. Are complete and utter morons
And while I hope the third is not true, evidently by their reasoning, it is as certain as Newton's Laws.
It is a sad America when we concentrate so much on diversity that we will go as far as to strip promotions from those that earn it. It should not matter what race, ethnicity, or religion of people did better on this test….if 20 African Americans EARNED a promotion, then 20 African Americans should get the promotion they worked so hard to EARN.
If you find yourself thinking, "Well, if these liberals are complaining that this test is racist, then they must have some point?" …..don't bother with the thought, I had the same thought and after much research, there is no point…..
Maybe liberals would have a point if
……a private company had not been hired out to review the test to determine that no racial biases were apparent.
……the questions weren't straight from the study material (which is what Michael Blatchley, one of the firefighters commented)
……the majority of the people giving the oral part of the exam were not minorities
It feels like liberals are trying to pull out all of the stops to win more constituents, seriously I hope that is the reason, if they seriously believe in the BS that they are claiming then we are getting ready for a load of hurt.
All I know is that if I am in a house that is on fire, I want the person who is MOST QUALIFIED to be putting out the fire and saving me. The race of the firefighter is such a childish issue at that point.
If something like this were legal, then there is precedent for quotas for lets say……the number of white and black athletes in sports dominated by one race………..hockey…….basketball? This is heading down a slippery road my friends and it opens up a dangerous Pandora's Box.
Thank God for the Supreme Court taking some sense into this case! I felt like I was reading a bad Al Franken joke!
PS: Sotomayor rejected this claim by these firefighters in an appeals court (good thing she is replacing Souter who ruled in the minority on this case)
