A class-action lawsuit by the Mountain States Legal Foundation has found a substantial amount of documents showing discriminatory hiring practices by the Obama-era Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiative, which rejected qualified air traffic controllers based solely on race.
The lawsuit is led by Adam Laxalt, the Former Nevada Attorney General and co-counsel at Mountain States Legal Foundation. If it succeeds, it could set a new precedent and force companies and government agencies to hire employees based on skills, eliminating diversity quotas.
The lawsuit alleges that the FAA turned away more than 1,000 qualified air traffic controller applicants. These applicants passed the normal tests before the Obama-era FAA threw out the test results and the applicants with it.

Unbelievable
Bttt
These b***dy liberals have a lot to answer for.
It’s like kicking over a rock and seeing all the nasty, squirmy things living there!
If Obama's DEI order about air traffic controllers dates back to 2014, why didn't Trump try to do something about it in his first term? Under the radar?
Trump did reverse the Obama standards in his first term. Then Biden changed them back to the Obama DEI standards.

From Revolver:
“Andrew Brigida was one such student who spent forty thousand dollars and four years on his degree, achieved the highest possible score on the FAA’s aptitude test, and was still filtered out for being White. He is now leading a class-action lawsuit against the FAA.”
Let the lawsuits - and massive payouts, begin.
DEI will be the DEITH of us.
I tend to believe it, but I’m not quite sure how they’ll prove it in court.
Good one.....sad though.

Whether or not it was a factor in the crash, this needs to be done away with.
We can also not let a crisis go to waste.
Totally agree.
Regardless of what happened, it has brought this insanity to light......a damned shame 67 souls had to be lost to do it.
“why didn’t Trump try to do something about it in his first term?”
He says he did in his 1st term and that idiot biden changed it back to the way obama had it.
a damned shame 67 souls had to be lost to do it.
Unfortunately, the hardest lessons and longest-lasting changes in aviation stem from a large body count.
Should be easy to prove. Just look at the application test scores of the people who got screwed over and those of the DEI hires.
Just need probable cause to prevail. And there’s that video encouraging DEI types to apply regardless of their qualifications.
