Looks like Eric Holder’s Justice Department has another racial fiasco on its hands. The Obama administration has decided that competence and qualifications are far less important to a fire department than racial quotas.
Please allow us to restate the problem: Competence and qualifications mean nothing. Race means everything.
Big Government has the smokin’ hot story:
Judicial Watch uncovered hundreds of documents from the City of Dayton, Ohio, showing that Department of Justice (DOJ) officials pressured the Dayton Police and Fire Departments to lower testing standards because not enough African-American candidates passed the written exam.
In a rational world, the candidates who didn’t pass would be told to study hard and try again next year. But this isn’t a rational world, it’s an Obamanation:
According to a report by Dayton’s ABC News affiliate on March 11, 2011, the ultimate compromise struck between the City of Dayton and the DOJ resulted in a lowering of test standards for Police Department candidates:
The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits. It’s a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam. Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.
Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two. The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That’s the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.
The equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’. In other words, the first and last letters of the world F-R-A-U-D.
