I bet he can read and process better than 75% of the kids from a “real” high school.

Do Nebraska state universities accept graduates from a non-accredited high school? Students who were home schooled? My bet is yes.

Regulation is how the left destroys things it can’t control.

Sounds like he could sue the ever-living shite out of em too..
FWIW, I have an 8-year old granddaughter that’s being homeschooled.
Her current reading and comprehension skills are now rivaling the today’s high school senior levels!!! Her math skills? Not so much...LOL. She’s trying though.

This requirement exists for one reason, and one reason only—to protect teacher’s unions.

so they turn down a guy who likely learned the same or more than traditional HS graduate? Most homeschoolers, from what I’ve heard, test better than traditional.

I remember the days before HR people. How did we ever get by without them?

“”I would say it’s a standard understanding that when someone requests a high school diploma or GED, they’re asking for an accredited diploma,” McDuffee said.”

another of her problems, she thinks her understand is the standard. How long has she been director of HR? and she didnt bother to make sure information for job requirements that her office hires is correct? her schooling, or brain function lacks.

What the heck does where one completed their high school education have to do with the ability to be a firefighter. I smell the stink of the teacher’s union behind this. They likely pressured the city’s firefighter union to demand this from the city.

My understanding is that under Nebraska law — like in most states — an applicant for a firefighter position must pass a civil service exam. Seems to me that scoring high on a civil service exam is a far better indicator of aptitude for the position than whether the applicant graduated from an accredited high school.
