  1. Kehinde Andrews is half white and all communist; his bread and butter is grievance. Surprising, I know.
    Although…yeah, we probably should crack down on plagiarism more…in the interests of fairness, egalite. Let’s see who cries foul; that should be enlightening.

  2. Really, this is not mainly about Jason Arday, nor should it be.
    The much bigger issue is Cambridge.
    Jason lost his job, as is right.
    But unfortunately, those who hired him and defended him still have their jobs.
    He betrayed the ideals of academic excellence.
    They did so in a far more egregious fashion.
    Rather than upholding the ideals of academic rigor, they simply tossed any credibility Cambridge may have had under the bus simply because a young black man with eye shadow walked in the door.
    In a way, this reminds me of the Fauci debacle. Fauci was shamed. Ardy lost his job.
    But the people who hired Ardy get off scot free.
    And while Fauci was publicly shamed, the mayors, police chiefs, governors, premiers, and prime ministers who abused their constituents also walk away scot free. Yes, Fauci gave advice, but they were the ones who passed and enforced the laws. They reveled in the control too, but Fauci is the only fall guy?
    Ardy lost his job, but those who hired him still have theirs?
