As our Supreme Court has ruled against Affirmative Action in school admissions do you think I can go back in my career as a Firefighter and seek the damages done by this stupid program? My first real job was denied to me by affirmative action as Newport News FD couldn’t hire me due to the numbers they needed! I wasn’t black or female. Made it all the way through the many layered interviews, was number two on the list for ten openings. Had a degree in Fire Science and hydraulics and even had four years of n the floor training. Still I was passed over due to my race and sex.
