Trump Administration Stops Lowering Standards for Police, Firefighters

lowering-standards-for-police-firefighters/

President Donald J. Trump declared an end to lower standards in the name 
of discriminatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives — and the 
Trump Administration continues to make good on that commitment to 
prioritize merit, not divisive race-based obsessions, in hiring.

Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Department of Justice 
(DOJ) dismissed several Biden-era lawsuits against police and fire 
departments who used race-neutral mechanisms — such as standard aptitude 
tests, physical exams, and credit checks — in their hiring processes, the 
result of which lowered standards and endangered public safety.

DISMISSED: United States v. City of Durham (North Carolina)
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because entry-level firefighter 
applicants were required to pass a written exam. The city was required to 
provide compensation and preferential hiring to applicants who were not 
hired.

DISMISSED: United States v. Maryland State Police
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because applicants were required to 
pass a written exam and basic physical exam. The agency was required to 
provide compensation and retroactive seniority to applicants who were not 
hired.

DISMISSED: United States v. Cobb County (Georgia)
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because firefighter applicants were 
required to complete a written exam and credit check. The county was 
required to provide compensation and preferential hiring to applicants who 
were not hired.

DISMISSED: United States v. City of South Bend (Indiana)
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because police applicants were 
required to pass a written exam and basic physical exam.

Americans deserve the best of the best keeping them safe — and in the 
Trump Administration, anything less is unacceptable.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and 
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem.  It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden 
fiasco, President Trump.  

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
