What about our careers?!
She had attacked her ex-husband with a knife but lied about her arrest.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke admitted Wednesday that she was arrested and chose not to disclose the legal matter during her Senate confirmation process because it had been expunged from her record.

Her appointment stank in 2021, and it reeks now. She aggressively prosecutes peaceful abortion protesters but turns a blind eye to actual violent attacks on pro-life facilities.
Clarke not only invited notorious anti-Semite and black supremacist quack Anthony Martin — whose racist theories happen to comport perfectly with the ones she presented in her letter — to speak at Harvard, but also praised his intelligence and the veracity of his work. In her letter, Clarke specifically points to a doctor named Carol Barnes to claim “melanin theory” is what gives “Blacks their superior physical and mental abilities.” In those days, bigoted pseudo-intellectuals such as Martin and Leonard Jeffries were quite popular on campuses.

Just two of 85 institutions met the minimum standard, meaning most institutions of higher learning in the United States are Not Safe For Jews.
The white supremacy over blacks and Jews the Democrats keep warning us lurks in the fever swamps of rural America is endemic to the most prestigious institutions Democrats control.
The Hamas wing of the Democrat Party thrives in academia in the United States.

The campuses that received an "F" grade include Harvard
University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Michigan State
University, Princeton University, SUNY Purchase, SUNY Rockland Community
College, Stanford University, Swarthmore College, Tufts

Amherst, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University

Along with her dissertation, the decades-long pattern paints a picture of sloppiness, at best, and willful dishonesty at worst.
The whole sorry business is recounted here.
The plagiarism matter is entirely separate from the main show, however, in my opinion.
The character pattern of willfully omitting attribution involved in plagiarism is certainly related to the habit of Hamas defenders ignoring Hamas' crimes against Israel, of course, but it distracts from the issue which made Claudine Gay an issue in the first place.
She and the other university presidents could not bring themselves to say unequivocally that calls for a genocide of Jews violated their campus bullying and harassment policies.
Focusing on Gay's academic failings is already obscuring that.
But for an administrator to then change those final grades—behind my back—simply to appease them? How could that possibly be justified?
The response from my department chair, who has been at the college for 17 years, floored me: “This has been occurring ever since I started at Spelman.”
“That’s corrupt,” I blurted out. [In a statement emailed to The Free Press, a Spelman spokesperson wrote that “The College, its administrators, and faculty, exercise appropriate judgment in the delivery of our exceptional learning and living activities in order to maintain consistency across Spelman’s campus.” Spelman declined to comment on any of the specifics in this story.]

The poor guy got fired in the end, for naively believing that the commitment to excellence meant grading fairly according to long-accepted standards.
Exact same thing happened to me . . . in 1988, at a so-called world class institution of higher learning, where it's all wink wink.
The process got turbocharged in the 1960s by the draft dodgers. They fled to college, or to Canada. Liberal institutions gave them a pass on admissions, and once there relaxed standards to keep them enrolled to escape being drafted. These ne'er-do-wells stayed in school as the Vietnam war dragged on. Many went on to grad school as standards weakened some more. Rinse and repeat.
They are the ones who went on to educate today's hordes of complete lunatics now populating college campi.
Standards were lowered everywhere quite quickly from the 1960s, including at elite small religious colleges by the 1970s where stubborn professors with standards were already then not being renewed, the polite way of firing them.
We are reaping what we've sown.
The rot set in a long, long time ago, and it reflects why the country is in the sorry state it is.
It can't be fixed. The country as we know it will have to collapse first.
Three semesters of Latin used to be required to get into Harvard, let alone graduate from it. That standard was already under attack in 1917 in the name of "science". The widespread requirement of three semesters of college Latin was gone by the mid 1960s. Now you will be hard pressed to find any college requiring any foreign language at all to graduate. Princeton is now infamous for eliminating Latin and Greek for a degree in Classics, you know, the study of everything Greco-Roman.
The process has its own inertia producing this history. It's inherent in the thing we call America.

Briahna Joy Gray, co-host of The Hill’s online morning show Rising, has drawn fire from staffers at the Beltway political outlet for what some describe as her “pro-Hamas” and “fringe” commentary. ...
“We also have to hold space for 140 Palestinian children who have been killed in this last weekend of conflict,” Gray said on Wednesday. “And it is awful, even if we don’t have the same images of them and even if they were killed from bombs from the sky instead of in hand-to-hand combat.”

VEGA ALTA, Puerto Rico — The blinds were drawn at a handsome villa in an oceanfront gated community on the northern coast of this Caribbean island. Inside, a woman’s voice could be heard calling out “Ken” — but no one answered the door.
Records show this is the tropical refuge of Kenneth J. Chesebro, a lawyer who allegedly marshaled supporters of President Donald Trump to pose as electors in states won by Joe Biden in 2020, creating a pretext for Vice President Mike Pence to delay counting or disregard valid electoral college votes on Jan. 6, 2021. ...
The successful appellate lawyer studied at Harvard University under Laurence Tribe, the preeminent legal scholar who advised congressional Democrats on both of Trump’s impeachments. Chesebro continued working with Tribe for about 20 years, on wide-ranging litigation involving class-action claims and punitive damages. ...

A 2021 McKinsey study found that women leaders, compared with men at their same level, were about twice as likely to spend substantial time on collaborative efforts that fell outside their formal job.
We need less of that, not more, Heidi.
It's always helpful to see what brainless idiots these elites really are, and how they are just as malicious as the next uneducated reprobate.
Just as with Trump, if you don't test you don't have cases!
Amid criticism from global health officials, Fauci argued that the COVID-19 vaccines should have been viewed as a three-shot regimen from the "get-go."
Three months later and Fauci is now hedging on that. He shape-shifts faster than a Terminator.
Fauci said the official definition of “fully vaccinated” is in some ways semantic, but important as a guidepost for the various vaccination requirements that employers, businesses, and other organizations have implemented. ... “As a public health person, I just say get your third shot,” Fauci said. “Forget about what the definition is. I just want to see people be optimally protected.”
The reason?
Some health experts are less sure — especially with the emergence of omicron — predicting it will be more like a flu vaccine where the shots are typically recommended on an annual basis.
“If that becomes the case, then ‘fully vaccinated’ becomes a term that’s sort of less useful, because there is no ‘fully vaccinated,'” Stephen Kissler, a Harvard infectious disease researcher, told reporters on a conference call this week. “Basically, how recently have you been vaccinated becomes the question.”
Here's a news flash for ya:
No one's going to get 3 shots every year.
You can hardly get people to take the one for influenza. The average for adults in the last decade was barely 42%.
They are going to have to come up with something else, something that actually works and doesn't come with terrible side-effects.
Or maybe Omicron is a sign the virus will just save us all the trouble, by becoming less deadly over time.
The answer to COVID-19 is not 42.
