		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re all aware of how fond California lawmakers are of introducing and passing bills that give government-mandated special favors to certain racial and ethnic minorities, despite a 15-year-old voter-approved law that bars the practice. The Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), which raises legal challenges against government programs that violate the law barring racial preferences, issued a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered why the government requires exams for certain government jobs? State and local governments developed the competitive civil service system, modeled on the national system, to eliminate patronage and establish hiring and promoting based on objective criteria. The exams measure reading, writing, and reasoning, but because blacks score disproportionately lower than other [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve blogged about the FDNY &#8220;bias&#8221; case several times, so I won&#8217;t reinvent the microchip. Read the background here. Judge Nicholas Garaufis ruled that the FDNY discriminated against blacks and Hispanics with a recruitment exam [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1997, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit  ruled that using racial preferences in college admissions even to achieve &#8220;diversity&#8221; was unconstitutional. Fourteen years later, a three-judge panel of the same court ruled the opposite: racial preferences used in admissions at the University of Texas at Austin are permissible. The [Fisher] panel [...]]]></description>

The U.S. Department of Justice directed Dayton to lower its required passing scores on a civil service exam for police officers and firefighters because not enough blacks passed it.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;so says our government. Whites have an unfair advantage when it comes to reading comprehension. They do it better than blacks. Any exam that requires the exam-taker to read and to demonstrate his understanding of the material he just read is discriminatory; therefore, the government must drop this requirement. Although civil service exams were introduced [...]]]></description>

Just going by the number of times minorities file lawsuits over such exams, citing discrimination or &#8220;unrelated to the job,&#8221; you&#8217;d think the exam [...]]]></description>

Caltrans set aside 6.75 percent of federal contracts for women, blacks, people of Asian-Pacific descent, and American Indians. The Federal Highway Administration approved the plan.
