This world, man.
Herman Grim is a 64-year-old black man from Queens in New York City, and he also happens to be rich after scoring $2 million from the city after he failed a mandatory teacher's test over and over again — a test that the court determined was racist.
Around 5,200 black and Hispanic teachers and once-time-aspiring teachers who took the test during a 30-year span received over $1.8 billion in judgments in their federal discrimination lawsuit, according to the New York Post.
"As of Friday, 225 people who failed the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test used for teacher licensing from 1994 to 2014 had already been notified they're getting settlements of at least $1 million, according to an analysis of Manhattan federal court records," the Post report reads. "Court rulings found the exam violated civil-rights laws, allowing far more white candidates to pass."
Because Grim failed the test so many times, he ended up getting the biggest payout of them all — $2,055,383.
The city of New York paid a black man $2 million for repeatedly failing a "racist" teacher's test.

This kind of stuff just grinds your gears.
Most of us have to work, and work hard, in order to get everything that we need and want — as we should. But while you're doing that hard work and trying to do things the right way, you see people get these easy payouts because of "woke" nonsense. Nothing against Mr. Grim, but (to quote President Biden) c'mon, man.
Do we not have any morals anymore? What happened to good ol' fashioned hard work?
Nah, let's just take free money because of an apparently racist test.
How ridiculous.
No Trump comments.

I thought this was a satire.
Everytime you think a blue state has hit the bottom, they dig even deeper.
The test was racist because it didn't give the results that woke idiots wanted.
Seems Democrats don't care who teaches their kids; and it shows.
I dont agree with high amount (multi million dollar) judgements in these cases. Yet there was something odd about the test results
Is it possible that white teachers are simply 50-60 % more intelligent than black teachers and 80-90% more intelligent than hispanic teachers? That seems extremely doubtful.
There was something amiss with the questions in the test. Was it worth millions of dollars? I would say not but that is a courts decision.
Nothing odd about the pervasive structural racism in these urban areas like NYC.
It's New York City; anything is possible. There have been a number of warnings about deteriorating standards in education. Kids are graduating High School without being able to read above a third grade level. Kids are being passed through the system just to achieve an equitable outcome. It's gotten to the point that having a degree doesn't mean someone has been educated.
The guy may have failed the mandatory teacher's test because he was passed through the system without having been educated. Wasn't that what affirmative action was about?
And Adults are being passed through College and given teaching degrees yet they can't seem to be able to pass the mandatory teacher's test to get a job. Maybe they should sue the College that gave them a Degree but not an Education.
Looks like an end around to get reparations without calling it reparations. Expect alot more of this strategy in the future.
Good for these Black and Brown teachers (almost) who were prevented from achieving their dreams by the structural racism of NYC.
"Gulino v. The Board of Education of the City of New York and the New York State Education Department is a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of public school teachers of color challenging the use of discriminatory tests and licensing rules to deprive them of equal salaries, pensions, benefits, and seniority."
