Supreme Court ruling could make fire department diversity difficult

If you really care about minorities, help them get the skills they need to pass the test instead of just throwing the test out...
Just a thought...
But I would actually want to better their situation instead of just giving them everything without doing any of the work...

Sotomayor once described herself as 'product of affirmative action'...

...admitted to two Ivy League schools despite scoring lower on standardized tests than many classmates, which she attributed to 'cultural biases... built into testing'... Developing...

Yes, liberals really think like this...just wanted to make sure you knew...

Affirmative action in UW System, state contracting targeted

Wouldn't it be great if we could end the racist liberal program called Affirmative Action?
You can understand why liberals like it, they see everything on the base of race, income and age. In their minds they MUST divide people based on these guidelines.
Why should a white student get bumped out of the school they want to go to simply because someone else is black?
If the minority student is qualified they will still get into school.
Liberals don't understand how much their programs hurt minorities.
First, people get into college who do not have the skills to be there, and they drop out. If they were told they need to start off at a junior college or at least told what level they actually were at, maybe they could have worked their way up. Throwing someone to the lions doesn't seem like a good idea to me...
Also, here is another program that tells minorities that they are not good enough to make it on their own, and they need the government to give them everything. The problem is that this mentality of entitlement and a lack of personal responsibility is the reason they did not work hard in school, do homework, study for tests and gain the skills necessary to be legitimately accepted into college with appropriate skills.

I would like to know the percentage of students who get into college because of the color of the skin ever graduate. I was told that 0% of MPS students who have to start college in remedial classes graduates. If that is true, then what good are we doing giving spots to people who are not capable of handling the level of work necessary to graduate and taking them away from people who don't expect anything from the government except to be treated fairly and equally. With affirmative action, that does not happen. If there are minority students who want to go to college but do not have the skills, teach them the skills and work ethic they need, don't just throw them to the wolves.
P.S. Those liberals who want to say that this commentary says that minority students are not smart enough to get into college, that was never said. I said that students with the skills should get in, regardless of race. Students should not be given seats because of the color of their skin, if they do not have the skills...that is what I am saying. How can you argue with that? How can you say it is good to take away seats from kids who can succeed and give them to students who end up failing and dropping out? It doesn't make sense, but neither to any liberal programs.

Again, stop teaching them that they are entitled to be given everything for free because they are not white, and maybe after a few generations you might have a few more kids that understand what hard work and personal responsibility are all about.
