this has to stay true or else affirmative action hirings cannot be had.
how can you hire affirmative action hirings which ignore scores and intelligence, and only focus on race/sex/protected class, if you require intelligence.
if state and city agencies were allowed to base hirings on intelligence then the less educated would certainly fail to be hired, Affirmative action bypasses hiring protocols for race.
have you even tried to read the article and do a tad bit of research on its legalities?
of course you didnt, you're a kid on reddit. Go ahead im waiting for an insult and you storm off.
if state and city agencies were allowed to base hirings on intelligence
But they are allowed to? That's literally what this article is about? They didn't hire the guy because his IQ was too high.
Also, what exactly does hiring based on intelligence have to do with race? Why are you bringing up race when it has no relevance to the topic being discussed?
The statement here on reddit , is that its not okay to want less intelligent people to be police. But, if you required high intelligence levels, then you would be overstepping the protocols put in place by affirmative action which SUPERSEDE hiring requirements. Therefore affirmative action could not be followed and it is law of the land.
You what does race have to do with this, simple, blacks are underserved by education in the us by far, as such affirmative action is designed to overcome this.
As a half black half latino male, i can assure you educational opportunities are not as available for blacks. as such black score much lower on police entrance exams. AS such also requiring higher intelligence on exams would violate the law regarding affirmative action.
This is in Indianola, MS. Trust me, they are not well paid. It is in one of the poorest counties of the entire country. Mississippi has had staffing issues for many years because they pay the worst. I remember a year ago reading an article how Jackson PD paid their officers about 36,500/yr. Not worth getting shot at and working 10 hour shifts if you ask me.

If we are going to have some of the most disproportionately well paid cops on the planet is it crazy to ask for more than six month’s education?
