This was a GOOD article - probably the first by OCU that I've starred in a year or more.
I'm not surprised this guy lost his lawsuit, but the judge is wrong. If discrimination is defined as treatment due to WHAT a person is, then declining to interview because of intelligence is, most certainly, discrimination.
It isn't, however, one of the protected classes: race, gender, religion, etc.
Ironically, had Robert Jordan (probably not the author of 'The Wheel of Time' series) been Robert WANG, he probably could have sued and won on the basis that Asians are known to value education, so this policy is clearly racist!
That's how screwed up our society is.
The policy IS racist - in that it was almost certainly implemented for the purpose of boosting the ranks with certain races that are stereotyped as not valuing education.
Fortunately, now that Connecticut's policy is known, it will be a simple matter for intelligent people to learn of the policy and answer a few questions wrong. This turns the whole testing process into a joke.
It's nice to know that discrimination is alive and well in 21st Century America. It is thriving in our government.
