Good for them! All the political correctness BS needs to go out the window. The people that perform the best deserve promotion...period.dot.
Update this morning on Sotomayor thread. Selected paragraphs from article:
"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a group of white firefighters in Connecticut were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision endorsed by high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor...
"Fear of litigation alone cannot justify the city's reliance of race to the detriment of individuals who passed the examinations and qualified for promotions," the court ruled...
The court's more liberal members joined Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dissent which she read from the bench. "The white firefighters who scored high on New Haven's promotional exams understandably attract the court's sympathy," she said. "But they had no vested right to promotion." ...[WHAT???!!!!]
The 20 firefighters — 19 white and one Hispanic — who were denied promotions claimed city officials discriminated against them because they were more concerned about potential complaints of Civil Rights Act violations than their performance on advancement exams. The white firefighters argued discrimination is discrimination no matter what color it takes, and therefore, the city did violate the Civil Rights Act in not promoting them.
Sotomayor was one of three appeals court judges who earlier ruled that New Haven officials acted properly..." [that promoting people who fail the test because of the color of their skin is appropriate and promoting white people who scored high on their tests is INappropriate]
