Judge: NYC unfair to minority firefighter recruits
Well, here we are back at square one. It is the same case but with a different local. There is a solution to this recurring theme: desegregation. Desegregation by ethnic group and by class. Detractors will say that it is unfair to put children on a school bus two hours a day. I would ask the detractors to ask any parent in a low income and mostly racial segregated area what they want most for their children and ( I will to take the answer to the bank ) they will say, a good education.
I say, we pay now or we pay later with a lawsuit. I would rather pay now with equal access to educational opportunities than pay later with an appearance in court. If ethnic, racial or economic segregated individuals have equal access to education, I mean the same quality of text books, quality of facilities, and quality of teachers, I believe these cases would be a welcome relic of the past.

This case addresses the question that should have been asked in the Ricci case. Does the test being used actually predict who will make the best firefighting recruit or captain.
