'Merit-driven': State Department guts Foreign Service Test, dumps DEI questions * WorldNetDaily * by Wallace White, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

The State Department is set to replace the existing Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT) in favor of a more "merit-based" structure, the agency exclusively told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday. The FSOT will be replaced with a new formulation, scrapping the current iteration for a test not "riddled with [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] principles," a senior State Department official told the DCNF. The move is part of a larger push under Secretary Rubio and President Trump to revamp the agency by cutting wasteful spending and re-prioritizing the department's efforts toward U.S. national interests.
