halt the promotion of 10 other firefighters (including four minorities) who scored well enough on 2003 exams to be promoted.

I guess scoring well on a test 6+yrs ago isn't enought time for these people to get promoted?? This seems more than a little ridiculous; waiting 6+ years to get a promotion.

Obama’s in the White House. Social Justice decrees that the white firemen be demoted to janitor, or at least janitorial pay grade.
