Quite a find yesterday by Michigan Capitol Confidential, which is a publication of the free-market Mackinac Center for Public Policy. In Ferndale, Michigan, which is directly north of Detroit, the contract between the school district and the teachers union contains a clause that gives hiring preference to members of certain groups - mostly ethnic minorities. But the Ferndale school officials and their union have an interesting way of defining a minority, and if you're a Christian, you might want to look elsewhere for a teaching job:
Should there be two (2) or more of these applicants with equal qualifications for the position and one (1) or more of these applicants with equal qualifications is a current employee, the current employee with the greatest seniority shall be assigned. Special consideration shall be given to women and/or minority defined as: Native American, Asian American, Latino, African American and those of the non-Christian faith. However, in all appointments to vacant positions, the Board's decision shall be final.
As you might expect, neither the school superintendent, nor the board president nor the union leader responded to questions from Michigan CapCon reporter Tom Gantert. The language has been in the contract for quite a few years, and it was recently renewed through 2017 - which is in part a move designed to exempt the contract from Michigan's newly established status as a right-to-work state. Why no one ever noticed the language until now - or at least ever thought it was worthy of being reported on - I have no idea.

Better yet, these idiots teaching those kids no nothing about the 14th.
Ping-a-Roo!
What about Veteran?
the non-Christian faith?
ah.... which faith might that be...Islamic?
the wording is really infantile.
to be expected
“the non-Christian faith.”
What the hell is THE non-Christian faith?
This has been the bastards’ policy for years. This is the first time we see it in print.
Any and all discrimination of this kind is illegal and unconstitutional. Even if there are laws allowing “affirmative action.” Those laws are invalid.
I have been saying for years that there is a movement on the part of liberals to eliminate Christianity. It is in black and white.
According to the Mackinac center this morning Ferndale schools are saying the language will be removed.
Government school is child abuse!
Strictly illegal. They are not allowed to ask applicants their religious preference any more than they can ask about age or sexual preference.
If you’re a male, and you drop something in Ferndale, do not pick it up...just BUY ANOTHER ONE.
“the language will be removed” ...means little
they will likely replace it with other “language”...
Great; now not only are women and certain minorities officially inferior by government admission, but non-Christians are as well.
I feel very superior right now; apparently nobody can compete with a white or Asian guy on merit alone...
There should be lawyers parachuting in to this place.
And probably troops.
My point is that is it not law that preferences are no longer legal? Since about 1791?
IOW the government has ESTABLISHED an non-[whatever] religion.
IOOW the government has endorsed religious persecution.
(not to be confused with animal sacrifice, illegal drug user, or other “convenience” religions)
Good grief...
The Anti-Christ had nothing to do with this...
It is not legal to ask an applicant what religion they are?
