Told To Fit Mold

Told To Fit Mold Now worn down and things are growing old; Affirmative Actions forces us to fit a mold; Forced to do; Both me and you; Am tired of doing what we have been told. James Horn Legislating civil rights creates many conflicts, problems and difficulties. I had a Master's Degree, with six years experience as a labor economist and a 35 year old veteran whose father was killed on active duty on Carrier Intrepid. A 22 year old black female with a BA degree received the job due to Affirmative Action. This was in Federal Civil Service. I was really hurt and the GS-14 who was doing the hiring retired and was tired of having to put up with Affirmative Action. I have tried to remain positive but it wasn't easy. His name was Demetrius Mosanides.
