I should write about Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have had their operatives and their dupes punish me the most for supporting their Republican opponents in primaries and in nonpartisan elections. They defeated me when I ran for Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer in 2004. They almost got Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me in 2006. They defeated me when I ran for ICRC Steering Committee in 2007. They defeated me when I ran for TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Chairman in 2012. They gerrymandered my precinct in 2015.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250704/crime/political-payback-deputys-lawsuit-alleges-he-was-demoted-for-backing-candidate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A decorated Lake County sheriff’s deputy is suing his boss and the county’s top lawyer in federal court, alleging he was demoted for backing a candidate they opposed in last year’s election. Deputy Ari Briskman, a former sergeant, wants a return to his previous rank, as well as back pay and punitive damages from the lawsuit against Sheriff John Idleburg and State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart. Filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, the suit alleges Briskman was demoted the day after the Nov. 5 election, because he supported Republican Mary Cole for state’s attorney. Cole was hoping to unseat Rinehart, a fellow Democrat and political ally of the sheriff. Briskman also lost his special assignments, including as head of the sheriff’s Marine Unit that patrols area waterways, the suit states. His attorney, Keith L. Hunt, noted that the demotion meant not only a loss of rank, but a loss of substantial income. “To punish a man’s family simply because he didn’t support your buddy’s candidacy is wrong on every level,” Hunt told us. “It’s petty, it’s vindictive and it’s unconstitutional.” Idleburg and Rinehart gave us statements in response to the lawsuit. “The plaintiff, a current employee, has exercised his right to file a lawsuit,” Idleburg said. “We are confident in our actions and will respond through the proper legal channels.” “While we are unable to comment on this pending litigation, we look forward to fully prevailing in court,” said Rinehart.)

I had only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. In my defense, my GPA was lower because of instead of studying, I had worked far too many hours during my junior and seniors washing dishes to earn money for UIC expenses and to buy a new car to get to/from UIC classes and my parents’ home in Crete.

— Oconomowoc Rotary reverses course after planning nonpolitical July 4 parade. My critics/opponents have always vehemently opposed Republican participation in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades. I should write about them. They have always had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/west/2025/06/11/oconomowoc-rotary-reverses-course-nonpolitical-july-4-parade/84148448007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After intending to make this year’s Fourth of July parade a nonpolitical event, the Rotary Club of Oconomowoc reversed course after a local Republican state representative expressed outrage. The Rotary initially planned to have a parade without partisan messaging, with an opportunity for politicians to meet with constituents after the parade. In a June 11 statement, the Board of Directors clarified that all political parties and representatives may fully participate in the July 4 parade, “as has been our longstanding tradition.” In the original plan, politicians were encouraged to participate in three ways, the board said: Walking with the city’s official float, joining a community organization they’re involved in or creating a nonpolitical float with friends and family. The club also said politicians were welcome to gather at the Village Green after the parade for a “special moment of unity” featuring the University of Wisconsin Marching Band, which is still scheduled to occur. “Unfortunately, our intentions were widely misunderstood, and the proposed approach caused considerable frustration and concern within the community. We deeply regret that our message was not clear and led to any confusion or disappointment,” the statement read. The debate began June 9 when the club announced it planned to host a nonpolitical event, in part because the city is marking its 150th anniversary. A signup page for participants notes the parade isn’t hosting political acts this year, “but we look forward to inviting them for the 2026 parade.” “Our aim remains to create a universally enjoyable atmosphere where Oconomowoc’s legacy and community unity can shine brightly, unimpeded by partisan elements,” the club wrote on Facebook. The policy elicited split responses on Facebook, and the club limited comments after more than 350 responses. Some residents and conservative talk radio hosts decried exclusion of anyone from the parade, while others appreciated the Rotary’s decision and said political divisiveness would detract from the festivities. State Rep. Barbara Dittrich, a Republican who represents Oconomowoc in the state Assembly, called the Rotary’s decision “bewildering” in a June 10 statement and said it deliberately excluded state and federal elected officials. Dittrich argued her family “is a dedicated, ingrained part of Oconomowoc’s rich history, dating back to the 1950’s, a third or more of the 150 years being celebrated within this parade.” “Walking in the Oconomowoc parade is not political; It continues my personal ethos of service, greeting all of the wonderful people I serve, no matter who they are or what their personal beliefs,” Dittrich wrote in part, urging the Rotary to reverse its decision. “We have listened intently to your feedback, and we fully recognize the importance of traditional parade participation to many of our local politicians and constituents alike,” the Rotary said in the new statement. In a June 11 message to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, club president Bonnie Lewis-Tschannen said “what’s been unfolding is beyond reason.” “Perhaps the most absurd claim is that we were somehow targeting or banning only Republicans. That is simply not true, and it’s incredibly disheartening to see the narrative twisted this way,” Lewis-Tschannen wrote. Other communities have moved to limit political participation in parades, including Middleton in 2022 after Republican candidates lodged complaints that only incumbents, who were all Democrats in the area, could participate. And rules against campaigning at Waukesha’s July 4 parade drew conservative scrutiny after former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde was told he couldn’t participate, while a Democratic congressional candidate could. Oconomowoc’s Independence Day Parade begins at 5 p.m. July 4, starting at West Wisconsin Avenue and Concord Road and ending at the Oconomowoc Police Station.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Grand County Republicans are getting ready for Independence Day. The day begins with a parade down Granby’s Main Street at 11 a.m. After the parade, the Republicans will have a table at the Party in the Park at Polhamus Park for community members to stop by. On July 7, the party will hold its monthly meeting in Kremmling. The meeting is at 404 Park Ave from 6:30-8 p.m. Dinner is sponsored by Rebecca Guthrie. There is no virtual option at the meeting, and party members are encouraged to attend in person and get to know each other. This event will be less formal, with a 20-minute discussion inside (please bring a chair), then time outside to mingle. For September, the Republicans are looking ahead to Constitution Week in Grand Lake. The patriotic celebration takes place from Sept. 15-21. Volunteers are planning to participate in the parade and have a table at the event. A schedule of events will be announced.)

— Federal Hiring Office Walks Back Essay Questions for New Hires. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat who was minority, female, younger, and/or veteran who would take the job. They gambled and lost that I would become a Democrat. Because of that, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974.

— Chicago AM560 Axes Local Morning Radio Personality Amy Jacobson, Keeps Florida-based Host Dan Proft in Cost-Cutting Move
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/07/chicago-am560-axes-local-morning-radio-personality-amy-jacobson-keeps-florida-based-host-in-cost-cutting-move.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a shocking cost-cutting move Tuesday, Chicago’s AM560 The Answer terminated longtime morning host Amy Jacobson, as the struggling conservative station grapples with declining relevance – fueled in part by its own hosts repeatedly attacking prominent, respected Trump supporters. Jacobson, a beloved and nearly 16-year veteran of the station made the unexpected announcement late Tuesday on X, writing: “After 15 1/2 years at WIND AM560 radio, due to staffing reductions, today was my last day on the air.” For years, Jacobson co-hosted Chicago’s Morning Answer alongside Dan Proft – a polarizing and hyper-local media figure who delivers commentary on Chicago politics from his home base in south Florida. In 2022, Proft relocated to Florida, while studio executives scrambled to hide the fact that he no longer broadcasts from the Chicagoland suburban studio. Besides hosting a Chicago radio show remotely from Florida, Proft has built a fortune as a political consultant for Illinois campaigns — but unfortunately, most of his candidates have ended up losing. His track record is as disappointing as former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus’ 14-32 record before being fired in 2024. While Jacobson – who many believed represented the heart and soul of the morning show, will no longer be on air, she is however, launching a new venture, writing, “I am still processing this but I am happy to announce I have launched AmyJacobsonLive.com where I will be hosting a weekly podcast, posting behind-the-scenes blogs, live streaming.” It’s widely known across northern Illinois that AM560 hosts Shaun Thompson — who broadcasts his Chicago-based show from Naples, Florida — and Jeanne Ives frequently criticize prominent Trump supporters on air, including this publication, the only major conservative news outlet in Illinois ever shared by President Donald Trump on his personal Truth Social page. In September 2023, Ives criticized a local event featuring Donald Trump Jr., falsely claiming it struggled to sell tickets. During the 2024 presidential primary, she endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over former President Donald Trump — despite Trump leading DeSantis by more than 35 points at the time. In an April 2023 interview with Crain’s Chicago Business, Ives gave a blunt on-the-record response about IR, saying, “I don’t read their garbage.” Similarly, Thompson – a close friend of Proft and his Florida-based realtor – has dismissed the Trump-supporting publication as a “rag.” In June 2023, IR editor-in-chief and Trump administration advisor Mark Vargas resigned from AM560 as their Sunday evening radio host after Thompson went on a vile, racist rant after calling-into Black and Right Radio – calling the co-host a “moron with the taffy apple head,” as the two sparred over politics. Thompson continued his hate-filled rant aimed directly at the cohost, telling him, “you’re a disgrace, you shouldn’t go near a microphone, you’re too stupid.” But Thompson didn’t stop there – he escalated the insult on air by telling the Black co-host, “80 percent of you people are morons; 80 percent of you idiots who pretend to be Republican.” As Vargas pointed out in his resignation letter, “This vile and disgusting behavior does not represent my values. The phone calls and texts that I have received over the last few days only echo the shock and disgust that I felt while listening to Saturday’s show. It’s hard to listen too – and for very good reason. And while Shaun continues to be one of the most promoted and celebrated on-air radio personalities at the station, I cannot in good conscience continue hosting my radio show, sharing a microphone and a studio with an individual that’s so full of anger – and can say such terrible things. Therefore, I resign, effective immediately.” The station wasted no time removing Jacobson from its website and social media platforms on Tuesday — a move likely to send shockwaves through its already limited listener base.)

Nevertheless, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deduction. They outrageously, disgustingly, unethically, and falsely argued a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector, and d) that the courses qualified me for a new trade or business. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write about that.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How I Lost My Career and Started Delivering Mail. No one expects to have to start over from the bottom rung at age 50. But when the pandemic struck, marketing professional Stephen Starring Grant rose to the challenge. (COMMENT: I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, part-time while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969. My Democrat superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 falsely arguing that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day that NIU was not in session. They would not have forced me to resign if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/how-i-lost-my-career-and-started-delivering-mail-c238d934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I was being laid off. My skill set was not particularly practical; I wasn’t a cardiologist or a plumber. My work in the two decades before the pandemic had a bunch of names—Brand Strategist, Marketing Consultant, Consumer Psychologist—but getting a new marketing job was going to be a near impossibility for the foreseeable future. It was certainly never going to happen before my health insurance ran out in a couple of weeks. Which was a problem, because a couple of months earlier I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My cancer was as benign as cancer gets, but what had seemed manageable, treatable, now loomed as an existential issue. Not to mention that I was a husband and a father of two teenage girls, who counted on me to keep them in the upper middle class. To get unemployment, I had to be actively searching for a new job. I would go on the Virginia Employment Commission website, find anything I was even remotely qualified for and apply. I lived in Blacksburg, the small town in far western Virginia where I’d grown up, but the jobs I’d find myself applying to were almost all in Northern Virginia. Locally, there was nothing. Except for a job as a part-time letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. It paid $18.50 an hour, and it came with healthcare on day one. The pay cut was eye-watering: I hadn’t worked a job at that wage level since my early 20s. But I would definitely enjoy working outdoors for a change—and independently. Some people give up after things happen to them. Others get back up, over and over again. We think of this as a strength, as grit, determination, willpower. This kind of toughness has always struck me as essential to the Appalachian character. If you get laid off or shot, or people yell at you and call you an idiot or tell you that you’ll never amount to a goddamned thing, don’t think about it. Just get back up and try again. After two weeks of training, I was assigned to fill in for the regular mailman on Rural Route 3, a monster 60 miles in length, with 724 deliveries. The whole middle section of the route, a long slide downhill to the river, was so remote that it received no cellphone service. I might as well have been delivering the mail in 1920 and not 2020. . .Did I believe I was a mailman? I was lousy at my job, still very stuck on how slow I was. I saw myself as a faker being chased by the clock. But I got better over the months to come. There were days when the mail was light and the weather good and delivering the mail was the best of all possible jobs, the work a joy, the solitude a gift. I knew I was never going to be great at it, in the way that I will never be an NFL quarterback or play electric guitar like Eddie Van Halen. I delivered the mail for a year before I found a new job in marketing, and the best grade I ever deserved was a solid B-/C+. Even with that I think my greatest accomplishment was not quitting. And yet, somewhere in those early months, change did come. Letter by letter I was learning. I got tougher. I became capable of delivering everything that I loaded into my truck in the morning. The economics of delivering the mail were unsentimental—paying for my mortgage and groceries cost more than I was bringing in. But out there on Route 3 the job became more than just a financial delaying tactic. I was inhabiting something real, feeling what it was like to be there for people. I had become a mailman.)

https://hoodline.com/2025/06/subcommittee-debates-potential-erosion-of-meritocracy-by-dei-initiatives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recent discussions at a Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services hearing have sparked controversy over the impact and intention of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The critical focus of the hearing, titled “Sacrificing Excellence for Ideology: The Real Cost of DEI,” examined the assertion that these progressive policies potentially erode the foundation of meritocracy and individualism within several sectors, including education, government, and the workforce. According to a release by the subcommittee, members discussed possibilities of following former President Trump’s lead to foster what they view as genuine equality, based on individual effort and merit.)

— Trump admin takes action after massive fraud uncovered at agency (SBA) Dems tried to protect from DOGE. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit Democrats. GAO audits IRS. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors did not want me, a Republican, to audit IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. They succeeded in keeping off audits of IRS until 1986,that but then succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988 for the rest of my GAO employment. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. To keep me off audits of IRS, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I could not be objective auditing IRS because of the many big adverse actions that they had taken against me.

Coristine joined the Social Security Administration this week as a special government employee, a type of temporary position with relatively few disclosure obligations, the benefits agency said. What did you do when you were 19? I turned 19 in September of 1967. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I was a full-time UIC student. I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office. I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in December of 1967.

— Republican elected officials should reform government agencies. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, DOGE would not be needed. If Gingrich had reformed GAO, I might still be a GAO employee. The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1980s and 1990s would not have wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They would not have wasted what I learned working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. They would not have wasted what I learned earning six professional certifications and a professional license. They would not have wasted what I learned earning three master’s degrees. They would not have always ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They would have always assigned me to audits of IRS. They would not have forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. – Dave Diersen

They would not have wasted what I learned earning six professional certifications and a professional license. They would not have wasted what I learned earning three master’s degrees. They would not have always ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They would not have delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13.

However, many Vietnam veterans still struggle with the long-term effects of their service, including PTSD and physical health issues related to Agent Orange exposure.)

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— No one wants bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were viewed as being bad jobs, all my superiors had a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified minorities and females. Because of Affirmative Action and DEI, qualified minorities and females could get better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my superiors ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) gave their minority and female employees more preference. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related bachelor’s degree, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. It all culminated in my superiors replacing me with my Black subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had, less education than I had, one professional certification while I had six, and no professional license like the one I had.

That is, they all discriminated against their employees who were Republican and White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in been in America for a long time.

— Who got promoted over you and why? All my coworkers who got promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in been in America for a long time. They all had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. All my employers were Democrat employers that used Affirmative Action, DEI, up-or-out, budget cuts, and/or veterans preference to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees. – Dave Diersen

I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year. I had earned a) a CPA license, b) master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. If GAO had been reformed, there would be no need for DOGE. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrat leaders say that they stand with government employees. But Democrat leaders stand only with their government employees who are Democrat and minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Because I was none of the aforesaid, no Democrat leader stood with me when Republican Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. Democrat leaders were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and replaced me in 1997 with my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is, government doesn’t work without the professionals who show up every day to serve the public. Effectiveness depends on more than elected officials or public leaders. It requires the daily efforts of those working quietly behind the scenes. Their roles are rarely glamorous or celebrated, yet they perform them diligently because they believe in something bigger than themselves.

THE HILL
— The NextGen Bar Exam is DEI in action, dangerously lowering standards. Every time that Democrat and RINO leaders lower standards, my having done the following means more. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA. I earned four more job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5359119-the-nextgen-bar-exam-is-dei-in-action-dangerously-lowering-standards/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American legal profession is in crisis, and the NextGen Bar Exam is the latest symptom of a disease that’s rapidly metastasizing: the abandonment of merit in favor of ideological box-checking. For decades, the bar exam was the last line of defense — a rigorous filter ensuring that only those with real legal chops could represent the public. Today, that filter is being shredded, sacrificed on the altar of equity and inclusion. The result? A collapse in standards, the death of meritocracy, and a profession on the brink of irrelevance. The NextGen Bar Exam, set to roll out in 2026, is not about modernizing legal education or making better lawyers. It is about making the exam easier to pass. Out go the demanding essays and complex legal analysis; in come more multiple-choice questions and “practical” scenarios that test little more than common sense and the ability to regurgitate buzzwords. The new mantra is “minimal competence,” a phrase so hollow as to be meaningless. The new system benefits neither clients, who deserve skilled and well-prepared advocates, nor the public, who depend on lawyers to guide them through a complex legal system. The only winners are bureaucrats and activists obsessed with “equity.” And even then, this is not to say that the new bar somehow guarantees equality of opportunity. Rather, it tries to force equality of outcome, no matter how much the universal bar must be lowered in the process. In truth, the NextGen Bar Exam is DEI ideology in action. By blaming the bar exam itself, rather than differences in preparation or effort, for unequal pass rates among various groups, the legal establishment has chosen to lower the standards until everyone passes. This is neither fairness nor justice, but the soft bigotry of low expectations, institutionalized. DEI has become a Trojan horse, smuggling mediocrity into the heart of the legal profession. Instead of demanding that all aspiring lawyers rise to meet high standards, the system now bends over backward to ensure that the standards themselves are erased. The message is clear: merit is out, identity is in. The legal profession was once a meritocracy. It didn’t matter where you came from or what you looked like — if you could master the law, you could make it. That’s what made American law great — it consisted of the best and brightest, tested and proven. Now, that ideal is being tossed aside. The NextGen Bar Exam is just the latest example, following major formatting changes to the LSAT to “reduce anxiety” and the proliferation of alternative “pathways” to licensure that bypass rigorous testing altogether. This isn’t just a legal education problem. It is a societal problem. When we stop rewarding excellence and start rewarding box-checking, we get a weaker, less competent, and less trustworthy profession. As a result, we end up with lawyers who lack essential skills in writing, reasoning, and effective advocacy, in turn, undermining the credibility of our justice system. If this trend continues, the outcome is inevitable: Clients will find themselves represented by lawyers who only managed to pass a watered-down exam. Our courts will be overwhelmed by incompetence, and the already fragile reputation of the legal profession will deteriorate further. Those who will suffer most are everyday Americans — people who need legal help, not just a participation trophy. The legal profession must wake up before it’s too late. Reform is acceptable and necessary when things are made better. But what’s happening now is not reform, it is surrender. Surrender to ideology and mediocrity. Surrender to the idea that the only way to achieve “equity” is to undermine true merit. The NextGen Bar Exam is a disaster in the making. It is time for lawyers, judges, educators, and the public to speak out and demand a return to merit, rigor, and excellence. The fate of the legal profession and the trust of those it serves now hang in the balance.)

(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: The old civil service exam was introduced in 1955, a proctored, pencil-and-paper test that thousands of Americans took each year to get federal jobs. It was called the Federal Service Entrance Examination. A brochure called “Futures in the Federal Government” opened with these words: “Wanted: People of Promise” and urged Americans to take the exam. Starting salaries were listed at $4,040. The civil service exam is making a comeback. The old test was eventually thrown out after legal challenges found that it discriminated against minority groups, who did poorly.)

http://www.allgov.com/news/unusual-news/us-government-brings-back-civil-service-exams-after-34-year-gap-150407?news=856171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joining the federal workforce these days can involve doing something other federal workers haven’t had to do since the early 1980s: take a test. The federal government abolished the civil service exam in 1981 following multiple discrimination lawsuits that claimed the test was biased against minorities. But with so many people applying to become federal employees, some agencies decided to bring back the civil service exam, albeit in a much newer and modern format that tries to avoid being unfair to blacks and Hispanics. About 10% of would-be bureaucrats at three dozen government agencies—including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services—will take the USA Hire test that utilizes “animated avatars and videos to simulate challenges that could confront employees, testing their reasoning and problem-solving skills,” Lisa Rein wrote at The Washington Post. “Advances in technology allow the tests to scale questions; a correct answer leads to a harder question and an incorrect one ratchets down to an easier option. Scoring is instantaneous, an advance that can quickly winnow the pool of applicants,” Rein said. The test is designed to gauge an applicant’s general aptitude as well as teamwork, problem solving, judgment and specific job skills. Civil service exams originated in 1955 as the Federal Service Entrance Examination. At that time, starting salaries for federal employment were $4,040.)
