I can see both sides of the issue. I think the court did what makes sense and sets a good precedent given the context.

The test wasn't deemed discriminatory by intent. It was exclusionary by outcome.

The fire department probably should have kept the test results and studied them by race in order to impliment changes for the future. Throwing the test results out wasn't a good idea.
