Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has launched an official inquiry into allegations that a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) activist offered exam answers to black and minority air traffic controller candidates. The controversy erupted after reports surfaced that the activist had been providing unfair advantages during the examination process, raising concerns over the integrity of recruitment practices within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Duffy’s investigation seeks to uncover the full extent of the alleged misconduct that an air traffic candidate was allowed to cheat on an entry exam at the FAA.
A report reveals that audio recordings captured Shelton Snow, a National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) member, promising to give advance answers to Black and minority candidates before they took the entry exams.
“'I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question,” Snow can be allegedly heard saying in the audio. “There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email.”
After the audio was leaked, Duffy announced a large-scale investigation into the matter.
“'I am launching a full investigation into the DEI hiring allegations at the FAA immediately,” the secretary wrote on X. “If true, swift accountability will come for those responsible. We need the best and brightest, not buzzword, DEI hires.”
Matthew Douglas, a former NBCFAE member, admitted that he knew several individuals who cheated on the exams.
“I know several people who cheated, and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak,” he said.
This comes after President Donald Trump’s executive order to remove DEI-related positions within the federal government and cancel billions of dollars in DEI grants and projects, a decision supported by Elon Musk’s DOGE. The revelation raises questions about whether the alleged cheating is connected to recent plane collisions, including the deadly crash at Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, this past January.
Fire this employee and lock their sorry backside up for a very long time.
For me someone whose hiring and promotions depended on civil service testing... this feels like Déjà vu. Those who did this type of thing repeatedly did not even make much of an effort try and cover their tracks.
That’s what needs to be done, but I will believe it when I see it.
How about a re-test.
Transportation Secy Sean Duffy has launched an official inquiry that a DEI activist offered exam answers to black and minority air traffic controller candidates........thus endangering the lives of innocent passengers.
Audio recordings captured Shelton Snow, a National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) member, planning to give advance answers to Black and minority candidates before they took the entry exams.
Why does Shelton Snow still have a job?
>> National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) member
Beyond the obvious evil of a bastard like Shelton Snow jeopardizing public safety through his actions...
how is it even LEGAL to have an organization such as a “National BLACK Coalition of Federal [Aviation] Employees”???
Replace Black with White and watch all hell break loose!
Birds of a feather~
I can assure you one thing, in MOST cases, the same people that push this DEI crap do not want the fruits of their labor, their protegees, being their doctor or pilot.
It’s more typical liberal nonsense that makes sense as long as it’s other people we are talking about.
Tax other people. Censor other people. Abridge other peoples Constitutional rights. Other people use the socialized health care. Other peoples children are using drugs or are prostitutes. Other peoples children are homosexual or transitioning. Other people that don’t have a right nor means to defend themselves. Other people send their kids to public schools.
Modern Western liberalism is all about “other people,” and not oneself when they talk about their great ideas of equality.
Imagine Jasmine Crockett as an air traffic controller.
I’m still trying to figure out how there ever was an NAACP.
>> I’m still trying to figure out how there ever was an NAACP.
I have no problem with an NAACP, as long as there is no stigma attached to having, and belonging to, a NAA*W*P. Because as long as there is the former without the latter, racism is alive and well in America.
Corollary: the most racist group in America today aren’t neo-Nazis and such... that dubious title belongs to racist BLACKS.
Not defending this guy, but...
The article is misleading.
He allegedly gave answers for the "Biographical Assessment."
It wasn't a test on skills or aptitude. It was more like a personality quiz.
It's the questionnaire that everyone thinks was unfair.
Yes, the same questionnaire that some people filed a lawsuit about.
It's the questionnaire that was dropped during Trump's first term.
Also, Mr. Snow allegedly sent the email to many people, including the white woman who reported what he sent her. She's the one who reported it to the news A DECADE AGO.
This story has been out for at least 9 YEARS - before Trump's first term.
Mr. Duffy is acting like it's new information. LOL. What a joke.
I'm so sick of BOTH the Left AND the Right. Both sides spread propaganda.
Just proof that even that black guy doesn’t think the black DEI hires can hack it.
