Democrats Lowering standards......AGAIN!!!

Good thing NAACP Pres. came out against this measure.


TOP STORIES - CIVIL SERVICE BOARD ANNOUNCES POLICE RECRUIT SCORES

Share
DAYTON -- The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.

It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.

Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.

Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.

The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.

“It becomes a safety issue for the people of our community,” said Dayton Fraternal Order of Police President, Randy Beane. “It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation."

“The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed,” agreed Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward.

The D.O.J. and Civil Service Board declined Dayton’s News Source’s repeat requests for interviews. The lower standards mean 258 more people passed the test. The city won't say how many were minorities.

“If you lower the score for any group of people, you're not getting the best qualified people for the job,” Foward said.

“We need to work with the youth and make them interested in becoming law enforcement officers and firefighters,” said Beane. “Break down the barriers whether they are real or perceived, so we can move forward in this community.”

The D.O.J. has forced other police departments across the country to lower testing standards, citing once again that not enough black candidates were passing.

The Dayton Firefighter recruit exam is coming up this summer. The chief said it’s likely the passing score for that test will be lowered as well.

Democrats?
While Karl Rove tried his damnedest to make it the opposite, the DOJ is a non-political agency. Blame it on the agency, not a party.
Kudos to the NAACP.

Who is running the DOJ???? Who ordered the exams null and void? Please post an instance whereas the right felt it was ok to lower standards to accommodate a particular race or group? If not, continue with your daily retorts of defining deviancy down. Remember we don't view people as victims

Michele Bachmann Mangles Revolutionary History

http://www.bgol.us/board/?view=print




New Hampshire is a popular place this week with Minnesota politicians who might have their eye on the White House.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty left the state after a two-day visit ending Friday, just as U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann was arriving for her weekend visit.

Bachmann, popular with conservatives and tea party activists, attended a private fundraiser Friday night and was meeting with members of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire on Saturday before headlining a state GOP fundraiser in Nashua later in the day.

Speaking at an event held by the Republican Liberty Caucus on Saturday, Bachmann invoked the founding fathers and offered a historical account in lauding the early presidential primary state.

"What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty," she said, according to Politico. "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord. And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of your ancestors the very first price that had to be paid to make this the most magnificent nation that has ever arisen in the annals of man in 5,000 years of recorded history."

Scott Conroy at Real Clear Politics notes, however, an accuracy glitch in what the Tea Party darling had to say:

In fact, the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord that marked the first military engagements of the American Revolution took place in Massachusetts. But Bachmann did not correct her error when she referenced the battles again later in her speech.​

Some 30 miles to the north and with tea bag in hand, Bachmann was greeted with applause when she asked the crowd, "How about a United States president that gets what the American people want in 2012?" and later proclaimed, "Are you in for 2012? I'm in!"




<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>(function(){var a = YAHOO.util.Dom.getElementsByClassName('contin_below');YAHOO.util.Dom.setStyle(a, 'display', 'none');}())</SCRIPT>She later clarified that she is committed to denying President Barack Obama a second term, not necessarily running herself.

It remains to be seen whether Bachmann will ultimately launch a 2012 presidential campaign. One of Bachmann's closest advisers, however, told ABC News on Friday, "I'd be surprised if she didn't run."

Bachmann chief-of-staff Andy Parrish told CNN on Friday that the conservative congresswoman is giving serious thought and consideration to mounting a campaign for the White House. "If the congresswoman decides to do run, she is going to do it her way, and her way has never been the establishment way," he told the network.

Bachmann recently has visited two other early nominating states. She's expected to announce whether she's running by early summer.

Who is running the DOJ????

Eric Holder. Your title is misleading in the least. This wasn't something cooked up by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi or the DNC. As I said, stick to blaming the agency, not the party unless you have some evidence otherwise.
