MAYBE THEY SHOULD LOSE WEIGHT: Justice Department sues Pennsylvania State Police, claiming fitness tests discriminate against women.

The practice violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and does not qualify under the law as a business necessity, it said.

“The Department of Justice is deeply committed to eliminating artificial barriers that keep qualified women out of public safety work,” Jocelyn Samuels, acting assistant attorney general for the department’s civil rights division, said in a statement.

“Qualified.” You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
