That is essentially cheating, and would not make them better for these promotions.
They need to devise criteria that can not be bought like this test was.
This shows why Sotomayer and people like her are so important for the SCOTUS.
Right now there is no justice.

You mean anyone who pays to go to law or med school in order to take the bar or med exam is a cheat?
I've never hired a tutor to help pass a standardized test but I have bought and studied books that are specifically designed to help pass specific tests, that was cheating?
I'm not saying the firefighters here don't have a case for discrimination, but I believe it should be based on the fact that everyone who failed was black, which could indicate cultural bias. The argument you're using here is very weak, IMO.
