One senior BLacK police officer in Toronto has decided to fight inequality in the police force by helping black people cheat on exams.

Her community stills supports her and she's not being asked to step down.

How would our fellow pardians address these inequality issues in your place of employment?

For the first time since the scandal broke, Supt. Stacy Clarke spoke publicly about helping Black officers cheat on their promotional exam.
...
Clarke admits she was so fed up with anti-Black racism and the failure of good candidates to get ahead that she embarked on a secret campaign that spanned almost two weeks — photographing questions and answers and feeding them to the six officers she was mentoring, running mock interviews over three days despite an order that all panelists should stop meeting with officers applying for sergeant a week ahead of the process starting and then actually being part of the panel that interviewed one of the six without disclosing he was a family friend.

...

That “deceitful” conduct undermined the integrity of the process and the service and would “normally call for dismissal,” the TPS lawyer said.

“That is not where we end up when we talk about this officer.”

Last fall, Clarke pleaded guilty to seven counts under the Police Service Act after she was caught in the cheating scheme in late 2021. She’s told hearing officer Robin McElary-Downer that she’s sorry she didn’t choose the “right path” to deal with her frustration and desperation after watching years of promises not amount to any change.

But Hutchison reminded the hearing that this wasn’t a public inquiry into anti-Black racism within the force and began his closing submission by reiterating that TPS acknowledges they have a problem and Clarke has been instrumental in its journey toward addressing inequalities.

That's not helping them, that's setting them up to fail.

A few students in my first year college course cheated. They made it to the next term, but then they had no ability to move forward because they weren't competent in the prerequisite subjects.

The better option is for the officer to help the students find tutors and mentors to help them actually get better at the relevant material.

The number of engineers in our society is limited by the number of people that can understand and perform calculus.

Having free after-school sessions with pizza where they learn math is probably 10x more effective than whatever this is.

The unqualified people should not get a pass.

The way to fight inequality is to study... when you're in school.
Pretty simple.

People shouldn't be treated equally, they should be treated fairly on their merits.
