Is this really the best use of its anti-discrimination powers that the NY authorities could come up with?

So would advertising for a candidate with knowledge of engineering or electronics also be discrimination?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

That's right. Waste the taxpayers' money proving how stupid you are. NYC deserves better government than that.

Wait, no it doesn't.

So it just means that they just need to know Dylan Thomas poetry?
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
