This is interesting. Because the Supreme Court has decided that only diplomas can be used to determine ability to perform in a job, that companies cannot hire based on tests, which is just the opposite of this decision, the government is, in effect saying:
“You must hire the handicapped and minorities who are incapable of doing the job they are hired for, and you cannot determine that they are incapable before hiring them, nor fire them based on non-performance.”
How about saying enough to this nonsense?
Instead, we go back to a system where companies can hire who they want to hire, fire who they want to fire, and police can use profiling to determine the likelihood of violating the law.
So a poor black man who dropped out of 5th grade, has an extensive criminal record, and was crippled in a gang shooting by a rival is s.o.l. trying to become a Microsoft Certified Engineer, even though he wants a high paying job doing as little as possible.
How unfair.
I have a disability. I also have a degree, and I am looking for work.
I’m not sure why Obama thinks he’s pandering to me.
FUBO!
That's the rules made by the racist White males. They can pass the tests so they don't care about anyone else...it's obviously unfair.
People never understand the real reason a HS diploma is desired by employers. A boss knows that a new employee will have to learn on and about the job. A diploma demonstrates that the ejob seeker has the ability to learn. If a job seeker has successfully learned the quadratic equation, the Congress of Vienna, and the differences between simile and metaphor, things he probably had little or no interest in, he can be expected to learn things he’s interested in, how to replace a tranny, create spreadsheets etc.That’s what a HS diploma demonstrates.
Those qualifications will buy an IT job in some state of SC departments. I found that out too many times.
