Via Instapundit: The true scandal of the Claudine Gay affair is not a Harvard president and her plagiarism. The true scandal is that so many journalists and academics were willing, are still willing, to redefine plagiarism to suit their politics.

Plagiarism? They’ll redefine anything and everything to suit their politics.
Presstitutes.
Presstitutes one and all.
Genocide-denying NYT subhuman presstitute scum Duranty is still their blueprint and ideal.
Plagiarism??? … and here I thought it was called CUT and PASTE.
Welcome to the NEW “scholarship” … COPY and PASTE
What you’re saying Kenji is that Claudine Gay is a Control-C Control-V freak.
Her refusal to protect Jewish students is her worst offense.
That we now know she plagurized, and that we know she is a wokeness fiend, are secondary to the anti-semitism. Though, to be thorough, they are all examples, symptoms if you will, of her inherent depravity.
The “redefinition” was first observed in the case of Chris Spence, education director of the TDSB
As we further descend into left wing madness steaming full speed ahead into oblivion, I want to remind everyone that this coming Jan 28 will mark 108 years for women’s right to vote in Canada.
Too many Karens makes the world mediocre.
Now that we live in a matriarchy
We need more Thatchers, LePen, Smith, Meloni, Taylor Green, Owens etc…
…How could I forget one of our own cherished champions : McMillan.
Thank You Kate for many years of SDA. Truth is power, truth is strength, truth is Godly.
Metalguru,
Indeed, and very much so.
Dittoes, and a sincere Thank You Kate.
Ohhhhh … matriarchy! I thought you said mediocrity?
Hmmm … maybe you did.
Oh, come on, they don’t do that:
Except when a presidential administration changes the definition of Recession to claim we aren’t in one. And, ok, maybe they did this… Illegal alien to Illegal immigrant to Undocumented immigrant to Undocumented worker to Unauthorized worker to just plain Immigrant. But, come on, it’s not like they do it all the time. Well, maybe Global Cooling to Global Warming to Climate Change. But, surely you can see they are just trying to be more precise.
Ok, maybe, just maybe, Planned Parenthood really isn’t in the “healthcare” business. But, who’s going to go to a facility called the Pre-Born Murder Center? Next thing you are going to tell me is that now Conservative refers to staff writers like Kathleen Parker, Anna Navarro or Jennifer Rubin. No one is going to refer to those lefties as Conservative. That’s laughable.
You’re all just blowing this out of proportion.
She should never have been given the job. She’s not just stupid, but nasty. She tried to wreck a lot of people’s careers, especially straight black male professors who would not kneel to the groupthink. That Obama stepped in to protect her and still failed has to sting a little. I take pleasure in that.
Meh. It goes way further in my opinion, although I have the utmost respect for Instapundit. Harvard along with other Ivy league schools have been a farce for the last twenty years (David Hogg…oh please.) Ask yourself why it is now that things are happening. I see billionaire Donor Ackerman penned a George Costanza “Y’know, had I known it was this bad…” treatise. Uh huh.
Yeah, well, here’s the thing Skippy…you knew all along it was this bad but you didn’t give a shit because Whitey was on the receiving end so it was all cool. This time it’s about you and the tribe so now it’s different I guess.
Who allowed Gay to take the President’s office? You did.
Eat it.
The uncontrolled growth of the whole university education system has metastasized like a cancerous growth. Formerly places for the few that actually wanted to pursue scholarship and had the brains and interest to devote themselves academia, the institutions have morphed into factories to churn out mediocrities with initials after their names. The same mediocrities are given ambitions to find a niche in the degree granting factories which means expanding the traditional scholastic curriculum with the new frontiers of “studies”. Such “studies” eschew scholastic rigour for the Marxist flavour of the day ideology. The “long march” cancerous growth extends to the university administration which is often as numerous as the student body and exerts inordinate control over the work of the academics. The promotion of a mediocrity like Claudine Gay to the presidency of a formerly respected academic institution is a prime example of the degeneracy of academia. The solution is to defund and drastically reduce the number of universities before a degree after one’s name become code for “do not hire”.
“redefine plagiarism to suit their politics”
And why not?
In 2020, and to this day, media and others have redefined the word “vaccine” to suit their politics.
Eh, Kate?
