Federal Court OKs Police banning applicants whose IQs are TOO HIGH >>
Imagine an organization that actually wants its employees to have lower IQs. Seems crazy, right? Well, you have a high IQ, don’t even bother applying to be a police officer in New London, Connecticut. Smart people need not apply.
from ABC:
A man whose bid to become a police officer was…
Please tell me this is a joke??? Please??? I don’t know about you, but this is a moronic decision by the police force.
Honestly I think I’m okay with the judge’s ruling because of the implications. If he had ruled it was discrimination, people who didn’t score high enough could then turn it around and sue for discrimination. So there’s that.
However that doesn’t make the decision to NOT hire him because he’s “too smart” (bs no one is ever too smart, encourage brilliance) any less stupid. Maybe there’s some serious corruption there and they don’t want “smart” people figuring it out. So what does that say about who they’ve already hired? Fishy.
