Analyzing Real-Life Implications of Academic Standards in Employment Practices

In today’s lesson, we will explore the intriguing case of a New York man who was denied a police officer position due to scoring too high on his entrance exam. The police department argues he may become disillusioned with the job, raising ethical questions about intelligence in hiring practices. We aim to analyze historical anecdotes in support of arguments through the framework “The Ism-Schism,” engage in our writing projects, and prepare for upcoming readings and discussions. Bring your pen or pencil as we dive deep into the text and its real-life implications.
