This case has far reaching implications! Municipal Governments no longer allowed to discriminate against whites because of the color of their skin! Huzzah!! Washington -- The Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge. New Haven was wrong to scrap a promotion exam because no African- Americans and only two Hispanic firefighters were likely to be made lieutenants or captains based on the results, the court said Monday in a 5-4 decision. The city said that it had acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities. The ruling could alter employment practices nationwide, potentially limiting the circumstances in which employers can be held liable for decisions when there is no evidence of intentional discrimination against minorities. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20090629/NATION/906290368/1020/nation/Supreme-Court-rul es-for-white-firefighters-over-promotions[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
