NAACP President Derrick Johnson says his organization would like to see a mandatory 'implicit bias testing" scheme in place to determine whether public officials who enforce laws or "receive public dollars" for their work have racist tendencies.

The test administered in corporate environments isn't designed to determine one's fitness for holding a job. In fact, as John Sexton points out at Hot Air, the test isn't even considered determinative by the people who designed it. But even if it did, it's not clear what Johnson believes should happen to people who "fail" the test. Are they no longer fit for public office? Should the undergo some sort of retraining program? And at what point do we start judging people in other areas of their life for their "implicit bias" -- something we can't reliably test and have no effective way to treat?

.... can we get rid of the Jew Haters in the DC Council
