We've been reading in other discussions about how this is the 21st century. Maybe not...
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if anybody even wants to pursue it.

Just my opinion, but that is a slap in the face to all those that have come before this "adjustment".

I can't belive it, our nation is going backwards, I don't care what race a person is but a standard is a standard. I know a lot of "minorites" that are really smart, so this is just bullshit. Were trying to lower our standards.

Nothing like the political scoring curve. The problem with it, is the curve provides candidates that are not the best candidate carrying for a gun, upholding the constitution, or being placed on the stand in a murder trial to speak educationally...
Now on the fire side of hiring on a curve, we are already dealing with unprofessional issues, nothing is going to get better with hiring from a dumbed down test with a curve.

This is wrong! It's that simple. Why can't we hire the best people for the job? Why are we always lowering our standards so everyone can be "equal". I saw this all the time in the military, lower standards for women. I'm all for equal rights, if they are in fact equal. If you can't do the same job as me, get the same test scores as me, be able to do the same physical fitness standards as me, don't sue to get the standards lower. I can't believe that crap like this is happening all over the country. But that's what our country is turning into, a bunch of whinning sissys. We have parents suing the boy scouts to let there daughters in, and Blacks suing if they can't pass an advancement test. It can't be that they answered less questions correctly, noooo. It has to be a racist test that the white man designed to cause them to fail. I'm getting really sick of this!!!! I think if we have a black in the white house, they can't pull the race card anymore, on anything!
