COMMENTS: Catch 22 at the Firehouse
When a civil service examination for promotion of firefighters produces results that find only white firefighters qualified, is it racially biased? And when the municipality throws out the examination's results, depriving qualified white firefighters of promotion, is that racially biased? NBC's Pete Williams and ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg both sat in on the latest affirmative action arguments at the Supreme Court where white firefighters were suing the city of New Haven to have their successful test scores count. "The city was caught in a Catch 22," mused ABC's Crawford Greenburg. "The Justices today struggled," noted NBC's Williams, before leaning towards expecting a reversal for New Haven's diversity policy.
