I never understood all this affirmative action and quota hiring and all that.
Agreed, let’s not discriminate. Agreed, let girls into the police academy and fire training. But, the girls have to meet the same standards. If they can’t cut it, that is not discriminatory. Based on the job requirements, such as being able to carry a 200 pound person, and carry heavy gear, being in good enough shape to run a mile, etc. some girls will be able to meet the standards. Those that meet the standards should be hired. If not, then they had their shot but couldn’t cut it. It’s not discrmination if they just can’t cut it.
Remember too, lots of men don’t make it through the basic training programs either. Are we going to say they were discrminated against due to being men???
Qualifications of any sort are discriminatory. Liberals are horrified by ANY discrimination at all, not because of the possible damage to people’s “rights” but because humans are to be totally interchangeable undifferentiated cogs in the societal machine. A cog malfunctions. Destroy it and replace it with the next cog from the box.
