Firefighter test asked job candidates how many 60-foot hoses they'd need to bring if a fire was 350 feet away

Which left wing source do you think I’m making excuses for?? Haha, as you make excuses for the Daily Wire and their lies

Haha, as you make excuses for leftist tabloids.

 

[Hollie]

It says the test is discriminatory, i.e. racist. Here's the practice test. Which questions do you think are racist?

You are whining about a "racist" test. Identify the "racist" content.

Is that the recent test or the old one that drew the lawsuit. The objection wasn’t the math questions it was the fact they were using a college level placement test that they claimed discriminated against people who hadn’t gone to college. Not division questions about hose length

Which ones? Be specific

Not all white people go to college. Do you really think the question about the length of firehouse required is college level math?

You were absent for the entirety of 6th grade. Right?

 

[OKTexas]

Too much $$$$ in legal fees. The DOJ has no budget. Municipalities do.

You still can't sit still while the feds destroy federalism, also the State AGs should get involved, constitutional principles are at stake.

Read your link. Other than your pointless insistence that the DailyWire is "lies", you can't point out any lies.

 

[Slade3200]

Not all white people go to college. Do your really think the question about the length of firehouse required is college level math?

No I don’t think that question is required for college nor do I see it as a point of contention with this case as you and the daily wire dishonestly claim. Prove me wrong and show anybody claiming that it was. Again. You can’t. I asked this before and you dodged with empty insults

I did prove you wrong. Prove I didn't.

See how that works?

You still haven't provided anything to support your nonsense claim that that any question was "racist". Just sidestep and dodge as you usually do.

??? The Biden/Harris DOJ is the one doing the whining that the test is racist.

The Daily Wire made no claim that any test question was "racist". The "racist" claim was made by the corrupt Biden- Harris DOJ.

From the OP,

DOJ Tells Four Police, Fire Departments That It’s Racist To Expect Employees To Know Basic Math​

Exactly right.

That is a practice version of the test Biden/Harris is complaining about - the CEB. Not sure where you got the idea of "a college level placement test."

 

[Slade3200]

I did prove you wrong. Prove I didn't.

See how that works?

The only way you can prove me wrong is to show a reference to your BS claims in the court docs. You certainly have not done this.

 

[Slade3200]

You still haven't provided anything to support your nonsense claim that that any question was "racist".

I never claimed any questions were racist. That’s your BS narrative which I’m saying doesn’t exist in the actual court case

 

[Slade3200]

I got that idea from reading the actual lawsuit and not some biased propaganda news editorial. Have you read the court docs?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Ii you cant figure out you need 6 hoses for that question, you probably did not get out of 4th grade.

 

[Rawley]

I got that idea from reading the actual lawsuit and not some biased propaganda news editorial. Have you read the court docs?

Yep, and it seems very doubtful you have. From the complain filed against Durham, North Carolina "[Durham] has used and continues to use a written test, the Comprehensive Examination Battery (“CEB”), to screen and select applicants for entry-level firefighter positions at DFD. Defendant’s uses of the CEB have disproportionately excluded African-American applicants from employment in these positions, and Defendant’s uses of the CEB are not job-related or consistent with business necessity."

Again, no idea where your got your "a college level placement test" nonsense. If you looked at the practice CEB test I linked to, it's clearly not a college level placement test.

Maybe they made changes after the lawsuit.

——
The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of Georgia, alleges that the County engaged in discrimination with two parts of its entry-level firefighter hiring process. The United States’ lawsuit challenges the County’s use of a credit check to screen out firefighter candidates based on the County’s review of their credit histories. The lawsuit also challenges the County’s past use of a written examination designed to determine placement level in college classes as a method for ranking candidates to move forward in the firefighter hiring process. The County’s use of these employment practices disproportionately removed qualified African Americans from consideration for a firefighter position. The complaint further alleges that the credit check and the use of the written exam to rank applicants do not lawfully identify the best qualified candidates for the firefighter position.

Settlement of Race Discrimination Lawsuit Against Cobb County Fire Department Reached

6 hoses.

The question was math, not logic.

You seem to be conflating a previous settlement with Cobb County with the suit against the other districts.

Cobb County was using a test called the ACCUPLACER exam. That test was developed by the GA technical college system to determine appropriate placement levels for new students enrolling in GA Tech colleges.

It is not a what one would really call "college level" test, it is used for ranking someone's level of knowledge of various subjects. But it's not tailored for firefighters either, so you might consider it inappropriate, I guess. It's just a general knowledge test. Not a "pass-fail" test, a placement level test.

The CEB test was specifically created for applicants for entry-level fire and police positions. You needed to get 70% to pass, and black applicants were failing at a much higher rate than white ones, hence the suit...
