Multiculturalism in Dayton and Midsomer

Multiculturalism in Dayton and Midsomer

We’ve all heard of creeping socialism, especially lately when it’s leaping more than creepting in America. We should hear more about creeping, leaping multiculturalism. The mindless quest for diversity is as much of a threat to sanity and nationhood.

For example, what would or should the average person do if he or she were turned down for a job because he or she was unqualified or underqualified or was just deemed unable to satisfactorily perform the duties of the job description?

One option would be to sulk, but that’s not very productive. Another might be to study and prepare better so that next time around you did make the grade, but that takes time and effort. A third option would be to just look for another job, but that would make sense.

The ultimate recourse would be to complain, complain about everything from unfair employment practices to personality differences with the potential employer, to discrimination of some sort. Blacks and other minorities have often resorted to the latter excuse and have won. In the case of the Dayton Police Department’s test for recruits they didn’t have to complain. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice did it for them.

Without citing any specific reason, aside from the fact black and other minority candidates failed to achieve the exam’s modest passing scores of 66% on part one and 72% on part two, the DoJ ordered the results thrown out and new passing standards to be implemented. According to DaytonNewsSource.com, the DoJ “approved new scoring policy [which] only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%.” As DNS observed, ”That’s the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.”

After all, what’s more important to a police department? Quality, qualified, competent officers on the job protecting the citizens of Dayton, or multicultural diversity? Apparently, the answer is multicultual diversity regardless of the consequences.

As Dayton Fraternal Order of Police President, Randy Beane, commented, “It becomes a safety issue for the people of our community. It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation.” While not calling for higher standards, Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward kind of concurred by saying, “The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed. If you lower the score for any group of people, you’re not getting the best qualified people for the job:” http://tiny.cc/6q8ty

Yet, that is precisely what’s happening in Dayton . . .
