Questions of Bias Are Raised About a Teachers’ Exam in New York

Diversity is the the excuse liberals use to rationalize the hiring of unqualified females and minorities instead of qualified white males.

Disparate impact is the excuse liberals use to dumb down job requirements because females and minorities are unable to meet the standards that white men have been meeting for generations.

[SaraJohnson]

For teachers, skin color trumps literacy. Sick.

As I recall that was Zoe Baird. Kimba Woods had hired an illegal, but paid the taxes.

It was the Clinton Administration that started torpedoing her with talk about her having been a table dancer.

[Lizavetta]

As usual, not a single example of a question on the test that is singularly unfair to minorities, just the pronouncement that minorities are scoring lower on the test than everyone else so the entire test is bogus.

And of course, it couldn't possibly be that minorities are less prepared for the exams because they come from crap schools. It's obviously because the tests are biased.

That a conclusion like this is not only published but believed is, frankly, very depressing.

[FredZarguna]

Yeah, my recollection was faulty.

Unlike Zoe, Kimba Wood had paid the taxes, but she was the second in line with an illegal nanny, so she also bit the dust. Considering that we got Janet el Reño [She's full of hot air/She spins but goes nowhere/Reminding us of el Niño] who was probably cut from the same political cloth but much harder on the eyes, I'm not sure we won that skirmish.
