Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
We need our firefighters to be even less skilled.
Tuesday, the Durham Fire Department announced it entered into a settlement agreement with the United States Department of Justice over the use of a written test in its hiring practices since 2015.
DOJ investigators allege the written test, created by Fire & Police Selection, Inc. (FPSI), was considered to be disproportionately discriminatory against African Americans due to pass/fail rates. According to data, African-American candidates failed the test at a 37% rate compared to just 11% of white candidates.
The fact that almost 2/3rds of the blacks actually passed the test is proof that it was too easy to begin with.
Here are a couple of examples of questions from the test:
How did over 10% of the whites fail this?
“Had we known this 9 years ago when we started this, we wouldn’t have used this test in the first place,” said Durham FD chief Robert Zoldos. “I want people to understand that we did our due diligence in finding this testing company.”
…
“We were a little shocked that our test was considered invalid by DOJ,” said Zoldos.
According to the consent decree, which was filed Monday, DFD has agreed to create a $980,000 fund to be paid out to African-American candidates who previously failed the test, who otherwise would have been hired if they were successful with the test.
Additionally, investigators allege that since 2015 at least 16 African-American applicants should have been hired if not for the test. The consent decree also contains an agreement that DFD is to prioritize the hiring of 16 African-American firefighting applicants and to use a different test altogether. While there were no findings of fact included in the agreement, the DOJ considered questions in the written test to not be related to the job.
“The DOJ would really like us to focus on job-required testing materials like that,” added Zoldos. “So I think we’re really going to have to work hard to make sure we have a test that is understandable to everyone. Because we don’t expect an entry-level person to know anything about the fire service. And that’s one of the challenges with having that type of test.”
This story is a pretty primo example of “diversity and inclusion” making everything in society shittier.
Do you want your firefighters to be less competent so that black people feel better about themselves? Is that a trade you’re willing to make?
Nobody wants to do the job anymore, so the only sensible thing to do is start hiring literal retards
