SPENCE
There were 15 positions to be filled. 118 firefighters were tested, 56 passed the test and 19 scored high enough to be eligible for promotion. Of the 62 that failed they were a mixed group of hispanics, blacks and whites. It was not all of one group that failed, it was a mix, and same is true of those that did pass, so I do not see where the civil rights act of 1964 would come into play where a minority group were neglected.
Of the nineteen that did pass two were hispanic and more then likely one or both would have been promoted.
The fire fighter that brought the suit Frank Ricci has a disability, he is dyslexic and placed sixth. Maybe he should come under the American Disability Act.
You must believe in a quota system. A quota system punishes the majority while sullying the achievement of minorities.
