The evil, stupid doctrine of “disparate impact” is once again eating its corrosive way through job requirements.
The jobs here are for social workers in Washington, D.C. You have to be licensed to do social work in the capital, and to get a license you have to pass an exam. It’s not a severely academic exam, only a series of “multiple choice tests, which ask social workers what they’d do in hypothetical scenarios.”
As with well-nigh any kind of written test there are, nonetheless, different pass rates by race.
Washington, D.C. is considering eliminating #ASWB exam for some types of #SocialWork due to racial and age bias. In this @nbcwashington report, #NASW said test is flawed & it supports legislation offering alternative pathways to licensing: https://t.co/63ZT6mZIlf

Most infuriating to the Equity people, between 2018 and 2021 76 percent of white test takers passed the bachelor’s level exam the first time while the corresponding rate for black test-takers was only 33 percent.[ DC considers tossing social work exam over concerns it fails too many people of color, NBC Washington, October 2, 2023].
D.C. has a solution, though. The District’s City Council is considering dumping the test. That’s always the solution, isn’t it?
Let’s be thankful for small mercies. At least these aren’t Air Traffic Controllers.
But then came the Great Awokening around 2013, so the Obama Admin intentionally lowered quality of air traffic controllers because too many competent ones are white men. — @Steve_Sailer on Diversity Push in Air Traffic Controllers Will Get People Killedhttps://t.co/tGlm4qtANV
