A recent string of lawsuits by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against police and fire departments could serve as a blueprint for erasing physical and mental standards in the name of equity.
The DOJ settled two lawsuits and filed a third against local departments in October accusing them of discrimination after black applicants disproportionately failed to pass cognitive written tests and female applicants struggled to pass physical tests. The DOJ deemed the tests discriminatory due to the results, despite applicants of all races and both genders being subject to the same standards.
The three lawsuits, all filed within weeks of each other, could be just the start as a Harris administration would accelerate the process “10x,” one expert told the Daily Caller.
Under an early October settlement, Maryland’s State Police (MDSP) will pay previously denied applicants over $2.75 million in backpay after the DOJ launched a probe into “racially discriminatory hiring and promotion practices.” (RELATED: Biden-Harris DOJ Makes Maryland Hire Fat Female Cops)
The DOJ complaint alleges MDSP’s use of a written test called the Police Officer Selection Test (POST) “disproportionately excluded African-American applicants” and that its use of the Functional Fitness Assessment Test (FFAT) “disproportionately excluded female applicants.”
Of the twelve academy classes that MDSP has graduated since 2017, 91% of their white applicants passed the POST compared to only 71 percent of black applicants, according to the DOJ.
This, the DOJ alleges, “has had an adverse impact on African-American applicants for the trooper position.”
Additionally, the FFAT, which consists of push-up and sit-up tests, a 1.5 mile run and a flexibility test, saw a markedly lower pass rate for female applicants. Men passed at an 81 percent clip while women only passed 51 percent of the time since 2017, according to the DOJ....SNIP
