So the rumors of plagiarism have her as a potential replacement for Biden?

The concept of plagiarism was invented by academic capitalists to keep creatively-challenged black women from utilizing the resources they needed to achieve equitable outcomes in their education and careers.

Claudine Gay is a victim.

She's a victim of being caught being an African-American, who doesn't like Jews. Go figure. The plagiarism just shows how box of hammers dumb she is.

Claudine Gay Was Forced To Resign, But She Will Thrive Personally And Professionally. It’s The New, Ugly American Way.

Quote:Right-wingers on Twitter are high-fiving over the forced resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay on Tuesday after conservative news outlets dug up several more plagiarism incidents — the first three examples apparently weren’t enough — but trust me: Gay will be just fine. Her ousting will likely end up being the best thing to happen to her in every way.

That’s because Gay has the ultimate privilege in modern America: She loudly and unashamedly claims to be an irreparable victim of her country, and she has the dominant institutions on her side to reinforce the message.

True, Gay is a member of the wealthiest and utmost elite, serving as the president of an Ivy League university. But that’s neither here nor there.

She’s black. She’s a woman. She’s a lesbian.

The only way she could possibly be more powerful is if she used a wheelchair. (Not that I want to give her any ideas.) This is an America created by a left that has seized every cultural center — the entertainment industry, the news media, and, most importantly, academia. If you can claim to be oppressed, you’re owed something. A lot of it. (See my book Privileged Victims.)

That entitlement was perfectly reflected in Gay’s very resignation letter, which hopefully no one bothers to run through TurnItIn. “[I]t has been distressing,” she wrote to the campus at large, “to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.”

It’s not that she did anything wrong. It’s the racial animus she faces!

Nowhere in the brief missive did Gay even bother to account for her academic transgressions (which under different circumstances would be simply referred to as “fraud”) nor apologize for them. On the contrary, her only expression of regret was that the student body wouldn’t get to have her as president anymore. “I had hoped with all my heart to lead us on that journey, in partnership with all of you,” she continued. “As I now return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of what we do, I pledge to continue working alongside you to build the community we all deserve.”

Gay is no longer president, and it is sad. But she pledges. She will continue. She will work. She will build. Alongside you.

The courage and fortitude it takes to be a self-professed victim in America is truly awe-inspiring.

The opportunities for Gay won’t dry up with her resignation. They will surely multiply — a book deal, TV appearances, speaking gigs, and on and on.

Recall the last time a prominent leftist lost some influential post and sauntered off to live out the rest of her days in obscurity. I’ll wait.

No, what happens is they take a short-term loss — like, say, a resignation allowed with undeserved dignity — and within days, it’s announced that they’re “excited” to join the board of some prestigious organization or take a new lucrative position at an exclusive institution created explicitly for the heralded victim.

They’re never gone for long. They can’t be. There’s too much work to be done. Too much building to do. Alongside you.

Enjoy the little victory while it lasts, right-wingers. Gay isn’t going anywhere. She’s here to stay and with more power than she had yesterday.

If you are a leftist you damn sure better be smart enough to never be pro censorship of any kind, because even if in that moment the thing they want to censor is something you don't like that train is coming back around for you at any moment. Unfortunately a lot of the SJW leftists are very stupid and cared more about their "safe spaces" than freedom of speech. So while I sympathize with the suppression of any and all pro-Palestinian speech on campus and don't agree with it oh well you were asking for this deal with it.

I'm more in the Elon Musk camp: let everyone say what they want as long as it's not a First Amendment violation, then perhaps enact some (very light) restrictions if advocates for a particular cause get so vocal and aggressive as to infringe upon others' rights. If you want to say anti Catholic, anti-Black, anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, or anti-White Guy stuff, etc etc, then go for it, as long as you're not advocating for violence. ie, peaceful demonstrations are good, taking over entire city blocks in Seattle for months is bad. If you're a University President, toe that line in every single instance and dare anybody to criticize you for it.

Many University Presidents are in an unwinnable situation these days, and I couldn't be happier about it. Much of the next group coming in will owe more of their allegiance to moderates than they will to extremists from either camp.

Elon banned the word "decolonization" and the phrase "from the river to the sea" from X. Elon is thrilled to ban things that go against what he believes in.

The claim was "racial animus." So likely other professors.

I don't think she made the decision. They just let her pretend she did.

Hmmm. I guess it depends who “they” is.

It’s entirely possible that Michelle Obama (or some other person whose opinion matters to Claudine Gay) privately reached out to her and said, in so many words, that it was time to go. But I honestly don’t believe that she would be willing to step aside based on a vote by the Harvard Corporation or whatever they call it. I think she would view that as just a bunch of (mostly) weak-kneed white liberals, with a few racists stirred in for good measure, and she would tell them to f**k off.

Good riddance, *itch. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Bad thing is she plagerised another black woman who would run circles around her intellectually.

"No longer president," is not good enough. She needs to be no longer employed.

Claudine Gay is a victim.

Thats the way those frickers think.


stupid

This just brings to light what unqualified, undeserving and to be blunt, dangerously ignorant people are in charge of things today.

And that lady was pissed about it.

Besides, she lasted quite a while compared to the white woman who wasn’t caught plagiarizing on top of being antisemitic to the point of genocide. Some victim of racist she is. Beetch.

You mean deal with circumstances of her own making don't you?

Well, she is black so of course she did.

Banning words or phrases is not the same as banning accounts, or banning people from posting on the site.

But even so, I would be extremely cautious about banning “bad” words and phrases. The examples you gave, I would allow.

From the river to the sea was a phrase used to justify genocide. So I have no problem with that at all.
