She’s sorry. But.
For the first time since the scandal broke more than two years ago, Toronto Police Supt. Stacy Clarke spoke publicly about helping Black officers cheat on their promotional exam, owning that what she did was wrong and apologizing to police and her community for not taking the “right path.”
Two California teens who were forced to withdraw from an elite Catholic high school over accusations of blackface have been awarded $1 million and tuition reimbursement.
A Santa Clara County jury sided with the teens, identified by the initials A.H. and H.H., on two claims concerning breach of oral contract and lack of due process.
The boys sued Saint Francis High School in August 2020 after photos circulated of them sporting acne treatment masks.

An Israeli beauty queen who served as a frontline soldier had a knife pulled on her while being berated as a “little Zionist” in New York City as she urged students to have “peaceful conversations” about Gaza, according to footage of the failed “social experiment.”
Miss Israel Noa Cochva teared up on Instagram after she was repeatedly blasted with anti-Israel vitriol while carrying a sign reading, “I am an [Israel Defense Forces] soldier. Ask me anything” in the protester-packed Washington Square Park near New York University’s campus Monday.

A progressive nonprofit that has been shelling out cash to anti-Israel protest groups is being sued by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for fraud and withholding more than $33 million in donations, a bombshell lawsuit claims.
Tides Foundation, which has managed hundreds of millions in donations for progressive groups since it was founded in 1976, has “refused to honor its promises and continues to commandeer BLMGNF’s donations,” according to the 285-page lawsuit filed in California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, on Monday.
Instead, Tides doled out an undisclosed amount of donations to a radical BLM breakaway group run by anti-police activist Melina Abdullah — who lost a “frivolous” lawsuit against BLMGNF — according to court papers and an attorney for BLMGNF.
UNRWA has been caught stealing and then selling humanitarian aid that came into Gaza that was intended to be given to Palestinian civilians, UN Watch reported on Wednesday, citing reports published by Palestinians in “an UNRWA-related chatroom.”
The Watch report also claims that those who report UNRWA’s actions with the humanitarian aid “face reprisals.”

Bill Gates had previously been a rarity among his fellow billionaires by opting against owning a megayacht, instead preferring to rent during summer trips around the Mediterranean.
That all changed in 2020 when the retired 68-year-old commissioned the world’s first hydrogen-powered vessel of its kind, splashing out more than £500m on what became known as Project 821.
Gates’s interest in a green yacht was first reported by The Telegraph, when rumours swept the highly secretive industry.
Organizers of a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at the University of Toronto said Wednesday the university is ignoring their demands and instead focusing on the logistics of the demonstration.
Erin Mackey, one of the spokespeople for the protesters, said the group previously had discussions with university administrators about sanitation and other issues related to the encampment.

I think Superintendent Stacy Clarke is a hero for trying to help Black officers
Our gains in this country and every other “white” dominated society have been through civil disobedience, challenging and when necessary, breaking the rules.
I’ve been distracted over the last few days with the current disciplinary hearing for Toronto Police Superintendent Stacy Clarke. Stacy Clarke has the distinction of being the first black woman to attain the rank of superintendent, on the Toronto force and is currently facing a battle to save her job due to allegations of “misconduct.”
Admittedly, Clarke shared interview questions with six Black constables who were eligible for promotion. What’s not in question is the fact she did it. What’s also not in question is the fact what she did was technically wrong.
It was wrong. She proved she is of poor character and should not be a police officer. She should be fired. End of story.
