Was it really against her? Or just against sucking and being incompetent and unethical?
I think any president that acted with her behavior would meet the same fate. I don’t think people knew who she was or cared. Just that she was not good and needed to go.
It’s natural to feel targeted and special. But sometimes it’s not me. It’s just that I suck.
We don't usually hear about plagiarism accusations in the news for weeks at a time. There's a particular reason these scandals came up at all and became a major focus for the national news.
> I think any president that acted with her behavior would meet the same fate.
Oh I can think of a president who has acted in an incredibly incompetent and unethical fashion and got to serve out a full term. Maybe will even get another term.
>And at a congressional hearing last month, I fell into a well-laid trap.
That trap and the subsequent actions that follow it will, in the long run, greatly increase anti-Semitism in the United States and elsewhere.
The message is clear, don't you dare, accidentally or otherwise, allow anyone to come to the conclusion that Palestinians are humans, or worthy of rights. It's best to stand with the Onion[1] in this case.
Gotta disagree. The President of Harvard should be stellar in front of Congress. Otherwise don’t go. I watched bits and pieces of President Gay’s remarks, and she was not stellar.
She didn't come to the conclusion that Palestinians are human. She came to the conclusion that calls for genocide of Jews would be punished based on context. I am guessing that context being if you are a white conservative that's the next Charlottesville so you can be penalized immediately but if you are a Muslim or Palestinian student calling for Israel to be wiped off the map it is fine until you start acting on those genocidal chants.
Claudine Gay's entire career is a lesson in racism-grifting and plagiarism. It is good she has been called out but unfortunate the NYT provides her with a platform to defend herself with.
