We’re on the highway to Crazy Town.

quote:

”Now, we should note that Claudine Gay has not been accused of stealing anyone's ideas in any of her writings. She’s been accused of, sort of, more like copying other people’s writings without attribution. So it's been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone’s ideas, but nonetheless, you put all that together and you throw on top the political pressure and also the pressure from donors.”

Uber leftist harvard fires black woman DEI hire. Of course they are going to twist themselves into a pretzel defending her.

Typical play on words the left does when they are trapped...

Unfortunately, their lemmings generally fall for it...

I understand what they're trying to say, but they communicate the idea like a moldy pair of clown shoes

I do too, and even if they had articulated it well, it would still be bullshite.

The bottom line is and will always be, whatever you call it, however you spin it, if a Harvard student had been discovered doing the same thing, they would have been in trouble.

He didn't actually kill them he was simply copying the Boston Strangler.

You remember when slick Willy made it okay to get a blow job because it wasn't sex.

Now we can all get A's by copying others.


Good to see we are improving our peoples.

I'm thinking about becoming a song writer. I think I'll just borrow bits and pieces of songs and make 'em mine.
I'm sure Paul McCartney, Tim McGraw, and Vince Gill won't mind if I capitalize on their creations.

I learned in Advanced Comp, senior year of high school: sloppy attribution is plagiarism.

It's hard to fathom these people get paid to write this trash.

That's mental gymnastics if I've ever seen it

It's become apparent that every news source has an agenda and must be viewed with skepticism.

Oh I agree fully. They clearly don't want the same rules for peons as professors. I brought this up yesterday when the article that was circulating complained about the plagiarism software used, when that was created/implemented by the people complaining about her resignation.

No, much, much worse.

This is 1930's Germany level shite and the fact that the Left have become SO COMFORTABLE with telling the "big lie" should give decent folks an understanding of the only way to deal with them.
