The Curious Case of Claudine Gay
-
By the way, the Harvard Corporation statement at least mentions her transgressions. Not with specifics but it at least mentions that there were some.
-
And the Associated (with Democrats) Press finds conservatives pouncing. Or is is seizing?

I thought that was from the Bee when I read it.
But no!
It is real AP.

The interns aren’t taking it very well.

Has somebody ran that AP article past a plagiarism detection program?

Makes you wonder how accurate these things are.

On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote “SCALPED,” as if Gay was a trophy of violence, invoking a gruesome practice taken up by white colonists who sought to eradicate Native Americans.
Uhm, what?

What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.
Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”
Well summarized.

I might have mentioned before, but when I was doing graduate work at Syracuse University in 2016, I was surprised that "safe spaces" were literally physical locations. Signs in a coffee shop would declare the space "safe space for all" or something... until then I thought it was just a joke/phrase! Of course, I was tempted to test if the space was really safe for "all" or if it was really just a place to be safe from opinions that might hurt your feelings.
