It’s a sad day when you have to foster “diversity” by dumbing things down.

Dropping the exam would bolster minority hiring and avert legal battles, according to one source, while others confirm that the exam could be scrapped to open the process to as many people as possible

However, the lack of an exam would make Chicago the lone major city without one, and experts contend that the exam is integral to eliminating unqualified applicants.

You know something’s a bad idea when even a Union chief says “It’s ‘too stupid to be true.”

My opinion? An unintended consequence is that this could be Chicago’s way around the NRA lawsuits they’ve had post-Heller regarding handgun ownership. “Whatta ya mean we don’t issue handgun permits. We’ll let anyone carry a gun….”
