Is he going to change the way radio works the way that NFL coaches are hired. You know, if no Vlack coaches want the Detroit job, the team gets fined for not hiring a Black coach. Or the town in Texas that couldn’t hire a new cop because no Blacks applied, so they short staffed.

This sounds ludicrous, but it happened to me as well!!

Years ago I was teaching in Dallas and wanted to get a job closer to home in the same district (further north). There was a school perfectly located nearby my home, so I went in for an interview. Principal was a lovely lady, said she loved my resume and obvious love for children and teaching—BUT told me ‘unofficially’ she couldn’t hire me for the job opening because it was required to be filled with either a black applicant or a hispanic!!! She was disgusted as well with the ‘reverse discrimination’ against me and other qualified teachers who weren’t black or hispanic. (I’m about as blonde, blue eyed and white as you can get)

Those kids had substitutes the rest of the school year because they never had qualified applicants come in. That was a shame because (not just bragging here) I was a HIGHLY qualified teacher who would have worked wonders with those kids (always got job evals of exceeds expectations and my kids always advanced at least one grade level).

I quit at the end of my contract and went to another district.

I want to see the Chinese language radio station be forced to offer progamming in Spanish, in the name of “diversity,” so the Chinese can be exposed to Spanish culture. < /sarc> < not really>
