DEI … nonsense or not?
To get a better feel for the scope of the problem, read about what recently happened with the DOJ and the Maryland Department of State Police (MDSP).
From the Daily Wire:
“The Maryland Department of State Police (MDSP) agreed to shell out $2.75 million in back pay to black applicants who failed a simple written test and female applicants who failed a basic physical test. Because black applicants failed the written test at a higher rate than white applicants, and female applicants failed the physical test at a higher rate than male applicants, the U.S. Department of Justice determined the tests were racist and sexist. Last week, the DOJ announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the MDSP that included paying those who failed the test $2.75 million in back pay as if they would have been hired had they not failed the tests, and changing the tests so that equal numbers of black applicants and female applicants pass, among other provisions.”
Think about the absurdity of this, realizing that this is the Department of Justice that is propagating this nonsense. Obviously, those on the police force have to be able to adequately read and write in order to do their job. Similarly, those on the police force need to have a certain modicum of strength unless you are going to allow certain policewomen to only go after short, weak, or underweight criminals.
Extrapolate this foolishness to something like basketball where for the most part, participants need to be a certain height. If a short individual did not make the school basketball team, could he/she sue the school?
Could an accounting firm be sued because they did not hire a job applicant who was poor at math? Could a symphony be sued because it did not hire someone who could only play a kazoo? … and only play poorly at that.
If this is the sort of nonsense our DOJ is pushing for, then we, as a country, are indeed in big trouble. Hopefully these nitwits at the present DOJ will be replaced when Trump is elected, so that this nonsense will stop.
