We remember a few weeks ago, Important American university leaders had relativized calls for genocide against the Jewsand this against the backdrop of an outbreak of anti-Semitism on their campus.
The head of the University of Pennsylvania had to resign as a result.
This has led many to question university nomenklatura more generally. Especially towards Claudine Gay, who headed the renowned Harvard University until January 2nd and who also put these hate comments into perspective.
Some research revealed that Gay had been guilty of plagiarism on several occasions, particularly in her doctoral thesis, but also in her other works. This is a serious moral mistake that threatens the legitimacy of a university leader.
Harvard
She had to resign on Tuesday.
But did she do it by recognizing her mistakes?
No way! On the other hand!
She did this by accusing her critics… of racism! In other words, her critics hid behind ethical concerns and campaigned against her because she was black.
It is a classic and particularly impressive victimization strategy that results in intimidating mere mortals and making it clear to them that any criticism of a “non-white,” regardless of the reason, ends up with racism is connected. Unless there is paranoia behind this strategy.
I would like to point out that this strategy of victimizing Claudine Gay is being picked up by a large part of the media. Although she had to resign for the reasons we know, they preferred to see it as a victory for white supremacy.
At this level of delirium we are no longer talking about political disagreements, but rather a deliberate lie to save at all costs American multiculturalism, which transforms individuals into simple identity categories.
We are falling into complete relativism, where truth and falsehood are erased by the demands of political correctness.
This crisis at Harvard forces us to finally reflect on the dangers of Wokization of the university.
Claudine Gay was also committed to converting Harvard entirely to the equity, diversity and inclusion approach, the famous EDI approach that represents a new intellectual obscurantism within institutions dedicated to knowledge. The EDI bureaucracy today represents a Western-style neo-Soviet bureaucracy that colonizes all spheres of existence, with absurd and discriminatory standards based on militant anti-white racism.
Wokism
Plagiarism among academics is absolutely reprehensible, regardless of the color of the perpetrator's skin. It touches on the nature of the institution itself.
Merits, in turn, must be our only compass and must not take the color of each individual’s skin into account.
The fact that this evidence now amounts to a violation says a lot about the leaden screed that dominates the public debate.
