If they don't meet the standard, they can't be in the profession.

Felony conviction isnt a standard it is a disqualifier.
Just like "female" was a disqualifier
until the standards were changed
because "female" BEFORE training is no different than FELONY before training
So....
felons should be allowed to be CPAs according to your suggestion that we just need to change "
the perspective of the standard to mean what a person needs to pass a course, obtain a position, etc. The standard is what is needed for a job to get done, not to allow someone to claim a certification."
Those are your words - not mine.
The standard is what is needed for a job to get done, not to allow someone to claim a certification
So - when a CPS shows up and tries to explain to a bunch of SF guys what "standards" are you should quickly recognize that I have zero knowledge about CPA standards
...but when I replace "female" with "felon" and apply it to YOUR business - it suddenly sounds stupid to you doesn't it...
so - why can't we simply change the perspective of CPA standards to allow former felons into your office?
...does it fuck up the dynamic?
...does it create some sort of rift?
...how can a felon that otherwise meets ALL performance standards be disqualified JUST because of "what they are"
And don't say they CHOSE to be a felon - it is 2018 - you can CHOOSE to be a man now if you want
...because some group of people in DC "changed the perspective"
I'll tell you what -
I apologize for trying to dabble in the "standards" that your career field uses to put professionals into the workspace.
I'll stay in my lane since I know NOTHING about CPA standards.
...but please, continue to explain to us how CPA standards are the same but different from being on a Special Forces Operational Detachment - Alpha
Again, I apologize for insulting the way your industry crafts their profiessional standards
