Liberals are perfectly willing to see good people get burned alive as long as it helps one of the "protected groups", in this case women!!!
FDNY Bans Physical Test Requirement Amid Low Female Hiring Rate PUNDIT PRESS
December 11, 2014
The New York Fire Department has dropped a test to measure the strength and physical aptitude of its members amid concerns that there are too few females on the force.
Critics are slamming the move as a “lowering of standards” and lives could be endangered because people with inadequate skills will be tasked to do the same jobs as before. Supporters believe it will allow otherwise-competent firefighters to stay on the job.
He believes that first-year Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro should be concerned with doing a good job and saving people, not with what is politically correct. He explained, “What needs to matter is how well you perform the tasks of firefighting. The question is when you’re 270 pounds and you’re on the fourth floor and someone comes through that window — can they pick you up and drag you out or not?”
Nigro’s department says that the changes are not ]because women cannot pass the physical exam, despite the fact that only 57 percent of women pass it, as compared to 95 percent of men.
