This may explain a lot about the Justice Department
**Posted by Phineas
Presented without further comment:
The PJ Tatler has obtained documents from the Justice Department detailing efforts to recruit attorneys and staff who are dwarfs or who have βpsychiatric disabilitiesβ or βsevere intellectual disabilities.β On May 31, 2012, Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez issued a directive to affirmatively recruit people with these βtargeted disabilities.β
This DOJ policy does not merely involve prohibitions against discrimination, but rather the documents reveal deliberate recruitment efforts to hire as attorneys and staff for the Department of Justice people suffering from psychiatric disorders and intellectual disabilities. Moreover, applicants can βself-identifyβ their disability by means of the βStandard Form 256, Self Identification Disability.β
Those with βtargeted disabilitiesβ may be hired through a βnon-competitiveβ appointment. That means they donβt have to endure the regular civil service competition among applicants, but can be plucked from the stack of resumes and hired immediately instead.
So much starts to make sense, now…
