The entire country has gone nuts. Everything is a “social justice” battle. And course curriculums now focus on “oppressors” and “oppressed”. So we have an entire generation digesting this stuff and the next 20 years will be interesting.

As one writer put it, is Claudine Gay the hill that progressives really want to die on? She's not worth it.

I think you'd have to be terminally online to believe that Claudine Gay is anything like a household word among progressives.

Among rank and file progressive voters? No, I agree.

But look who jumped to her defense?

- Al Sharpton
- President Obama

Among progressive leaders, she was and is well-known and respected.

DP, btw.

Can you provide a link to President Obama’s defense of Claudine Gay? I googled and did not find one.

It was reported he lobbied several Board members on her behalf, not that he wrote some oped sonewhere.

Since when was oped spelled d e f e n s e?

The evidence for this is overwhelming: the questioning in Congress conflated any support for the rights of Palestinians as "support for genocide"; the billionaire movement condemning all three testifying university administrators for providing boiler-plate defense of First-Amendment-protected free speech was targeted, not only at the administrators, but even more on students who had signed a petition which the billionaires found offensive.

I don't know what components of this word salad I like best. It's a tie between "mendacious questioning" and "billionaire movement", I think.
And all the gerunds, oh my.

Well, some don’t want to waste an opportunity for outrage and to blame Jews for yet another thing they don’t actually control.

Well every news story says she was forced to resign because of antisemitism.

This. She was clearly and quite openly forced to resign due to her position on the Palestinian protests and alleged anti-semitism. Stories along these lines, tweets on condemnation and calls for her ousting have been pretty public - all based explicitly on the Israel/Anti-semitism issue. Now that she has been fired - sorry, resigned - folks like Ackhman, Rufo, and far right (and pro-israel left) are insisting that it had nothing to do with the his daily rants re: Ivy League campus protests but some long ago cases of plagiarism. Ackman is now on an anti-DEI quest, which he is coding for no more POC on campus who don't toe the line. Gay has been replaced with a white, Jewish man who is very much in line with the the lobby's political views. Yet on the heels of all of this, and Magill's firing, we're supposed to believe that it had nothing to do with the Free Palestine protests on campus.

No one believes that. Absolutely no one. I doubt that the PPs posting about plagiarism even care. You know why you started the witch hunt, and the black president was an easy target.

Of course it was related to the free Palestine protests. Those protests finally exposed extent to which DEI and oppressor/oppressed ideology have engulfed higher education. One result of which is Gay being selected for a position that she was not qualified for and without thorough vetting.

BTW I support Gays position that the students right to have “free Palestine” protests. But Gay and the rest of the board who implement and embrace DEI nonsense need to go.

When will MIT remove Ackerman's Ph.D? Plagiarism on a dissertation is a much more serious offense.

The anti white portion of DEI will still be allowed to stand. It will just be directed at non-Jews.

You know, you post a lot on this board and you frequently claim to have omniscient understanding of what literally everyone else alive thinks (“No one believes that. Absolutely no one.”). Your posts are notable for that remarkable exercise in narcissism. But they also make you sound like you are suffering from a delusional mental illness.

In any event, this is not a way to effectively persuade readers.

? Ackerman isn't the President of MIT,
No one is removing Gay's Ph.D.,
and I do believe some of the plagiarism Gay is alleged to have engaged in was on her dissertation.

Just a point of clarification: were there actually signs on campus that said "genocide to the Jews"? because that's what Stefanik was claiming. Or what tnat just a hypothetical?

Looks exactly like something Dr. Gay was paid $900K per year to write.

Or copy.

BTW - isn’t she still collecting that same $900K per year?

The plagiarism is bad. Like 50 counts of it. Huge sections are verbatim. Unbelievable!

You seem obsessed with that 900K. You keep bringing it up.
