First of all, the fact they are conducting these tests is clearly unethical. It is clearly directed at a certain group of people... a.k.a. racial profiling (which is illegal might I add). Secondly, why would the conduct these tests and then not help the ones who fail? This is completely ridiculous and just shows how far we still have to go. It puts a lot of things into perspective.

The first thing that came to mind when thinking about taking a test to be able to recieve benefits was the literacy tests that were involved in allowing people to vote. How in the world can you make someone take a test? These people are suffering and are desparately in need. Do people really want to see them suffer more? The system is continuously attempting to break citizens down in order to keep others up. If anything, we need to provide educational opportunities for these people who are on unemployment benefits as a means of receiving more benefits or a greater opportunity to get a better job and employment. Stop the madness Florida.

I am not 100% familiar with Civil Rights laws, but this just does not sound acceptable. I can understand not wanting people who will never be employed to take advantage of the system. However, what I don’t understand is why the state of Florida will not help those who wish to become employed pass this test. I believe that the test should also be more readily available to the community. Making it necessary for the test to be taken online and not providing computers in order to do so, does not give everyone applying for unemployment an equal opportunity. Simple English and math courses should be available for those wishing to pass this test, and computers should be made available in order for this test to be taken.
