I’m a firm believer in the idea of an extensive testing, after post-secondary or trades, from professional colleges or unions that everybody belongs to should be the ones that decide if what was taught should be good enough.

Too bad the SCOTUS doesn't agree with you.

The (likely) liberal of court of the day was wrong. It is not discrimination to have disparate outcomes if everybody goes through the same system. Having said that, I’d be happy to help anybody who isn’t keeping up get caught up so they can lead happy lives.

“The touchstone is business necessity. If an employment practice which operates to exclude Negroes cannot be shown to be related to job performance, the practice is prohibited.”

“The disparities of aptitude tests were far greater; with the cutoffs set at the median for high-school graduates, 58% of whites passed, compared to 6% of blacks.”
