Life in "Progress" City - Dayton edition

"You know, blacks are an inferior race who can't learn to the level of whites."

Of course, being a conservative, I'd be crucified for such a statement. Yet in "Progress" City, it's a standard operating procedure...........

The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.

It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.

Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.

Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.

The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.

Apparently, they're not too familiar with the Pygmalion Effect.
