DEI-Crazy Biden Administration Finds One Group It Won't Extend Hiring Prefernces To: Veterans, Of Course

The Biden Administration is so DEI-crazy that they demanded a DEI concession in the investigation of a fatal air collision: Biden's race-hustler officials demanded that this crucial investigatory panel be chosen according to DEI factors.

364 people died in this collision, and Biden wants it investigated by a firm that is diverse but not necessarily competent.

A judge rejected this lunacy.

Boeing plea deal over 737 MAX fatal crashes rejected -- judge faults feds' DEI requirement

A federal judge on Thursday rejected Boeing's agreement to plead guilty to fraud in the wake of two fatal 737 MAX crashes, faulting a diversity and inclusion provision in the deal regarding the selection of an independent monitor to audit the planemaker's compliance practices.
Boeing and the Justice Department now have 30 days to update the court on how they plan to proceed in the case, Judge Reed C. O'Connor of the Northern District of Texas ordered.
Spokespeople for Boeing and DOJ did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
Relatives of the victims of the two 737 MAX crashes, which occurred in 2018 and 2019 and killed 346 people, have called the agreement a "sweetheart" deal that failed to adequately hold Boeing accountable for the deaths of their loved ones.
The judge's objections center on the government's diversity and inclusion policy covering the selection of an independent monitor to oversee Boeing's compliance with the agreement for three years.

"The plea agreement requires the parties to consider race when hiring the independent monitor," O'Connor wrote in his decision. "In a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency."

Biden has directed every single agency to put DEI at the highest priority in staffing.

But there's a problem: Those damn white men that Biden is determined will never have a job in government kept getting hired.

How? How was this happening?

Well, there was a provision in the law going back to the 40s giving military veterans who actually served in battle a preference in being hired for federal job.

As more straight white men serve in battle than any other group, this was an oversight allowing straight white men to get jobs without discrimination against them, a dangerous back-door permitting them to get jobs which must be eliminated so that only racial minorities, women, and gays can get federal jobs.

So Biden revoked the post-WWII provision.

Debra Heine:

The Biden regime has quietly revoked the veterans hiring preference for civil service jobs and promotions, which since the 1944 Veterans Act gave eligible veterans preference over others for appointments in federal civil service selection, a memorandum obtained by American Greatness shows.

The goal of the veterans' preference law was to "provide a uniform method by which qualified veterans [could] receive special consideration for federal employment," according to Military.com.

By law, veterans who are disabled or who served on active duty during certain specified time periods or in military campaigns are entitled to preference over non-veterans both in hiring from competitive lists and in retention during reductions in force.
New guidelines from the Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Service (DCPAS) now stipulate that "veterans' preference should be considered on an equal basis as other qualified candidates."
...

A source from the U.S. Air Force told American Greatness: "This is government-wide hiring has ramped up like never before seen. They are literally packing the federal workforce with as many loyalists and subversives as they can. Worst of all, they think it is their duty to do so."
He added: "Since DEI is getting pettifogged rather harshly (and rightly so) this is yet another way they can worm into the bureaucracy--at the expense of veterans."
The source told American Greatness that "veterans are being cast aside for this new workforce (wokeforce)."

And I wonder if he may not pardon some of those that backed the Obama plan to dump him. These last few weeks might (even more) expose Joe as the corrupt backstabber he really is, and the whole Democrat party will be exposed as complicit.

Another issue is that we are federal republic, not a unitary kingdom. There are no subdivisions as far as parliament is concert. Electorally, it's just one big state.

The US is federal, and therefore decentralized, and the manner of choosing electors is open to some discretion.

For example, some states have run-offs for U.S. Senate (Georgia does), so those must be adjudicated.

94 Maybe this particular iteration, but I'm not so sure. As long as the government is huge, powerful, and incestuous, there will always be the urge to gate in a preferred workforce. I suppose the "qualifications" may change, but I don't think it will ever be based even primarily on merit.

Posted by: BEN ROETHLESBURGER at December 06, 2024 06:06 PM

Federal government employment has never really been based on merit. When the government first got going and hired people they got hired based on who the president and his cabinet wanted in those positions, the spoils system.

When that got changed in 1883 hiring was supposedly based on merit but that almost never actually happened consistently on a government wide scale, cronyism took over at that point for most federal positions.

All of them have been obese black folks, except one skinny black woman who lasted nearly four months before leaving.

To my knowledge, there have been exactly no EEO complaints adjudicated from our group. But they do get to lecture us every year about how racist and sexist we all are. So, there's that.

contradict these lines (the law, which no one is above):

By law, veterans who are disabled or who served on active duty during certain specified time periods or in military campaigns are entitled to preference over non-veterans both in hiring from competitive lists and in retention during reductions in force.

199 U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Vet Guide for HR PRofessionals

Affirmative Action for Certain Veterans Under Title 38
Section 4214 of title 38, U.S.C., was enacted as part of the Veterans Readjustment Appointment Act of 1974. This act placed into law the provisions of the executive order that authorized the noncompetitive appointment of Vietnam era veterans under Veterans Readjustment Appointment (VRA), now known as Veterans Recruitment Appointments.

Which means, mostly 'blue-collar' positions so as veterans returned from Vietnam, etc. they could be reemployed on military bases, posts at warehousing or trade positions. (Years later, common employment practice for National Park Service maintenance, U.S. Mint/Bureau of Printing and Engraving, etc.)

There were a nice range of desk jobs that veterans could be quite successful in, i.e., the VA, U.S. Department of Labor, EPA, etc. HOWEVER, if/when a veteran HAD to be hired into such a position, they could also be removed by management almost without cause, much like anyone else new to the federal, civilian workforce. "Go quietly or else."

Retiring mil. officers, esp. Navy & able to fill DEI desk jobs, are a bonus.
