It's as if the talent within academia is stirring, and has had enough of wokesterism, too.

 

Cartoons - American Thinker

Harvard’s president Claudine Gay accused of plagiarizing… Dr. Carol Swain?! - American Thinker   "(Somebody get the popcorn—and quickly—because the show is about to start, and you won’t want to miss it.)

"Yesterday, Christopher Rufo took to X and released bombshell evidence against Harvard’s current president Claudine Gay, accusing her of a serious infraction—but it had nothing to do with her refusal to expel the pro-Hamas students calling for the death of their Jewish counterparts (let alone condemn their actions), or the university’s scandalous hard-left policies… but Gay’s alleged plagiarism for her Ph.D dissertation. See the thread from Rufo below: . . . 

 As Rufo also noted, Gay is a darling of the left, “touted as the first black woman” to run Harvard in its 368-year existence, but she’s been mired in scandal since the outset of her stint.. . .

 With Magill out, academic heavyweights start to speak out against university wokesterism - Monica Showalter    "With the resignation of woke University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill, following an execrable performance addressing antisemitism in Congress, some kind of dam has broken. Now academics with actual achievements are beginning to speak out against the wokesterism that has laid low the reputations of their universities.

"CNN commentator Fareed Zakaria, who's best described as a left-leaning moderate, has thrown down the gauntlet about woke universities, calling them indoctrination centers, not places of learning, and demanded that universities return to their core mission of seeking the actual truth, demanding excellence, instead of creating their own "truths."

"He's on fire here: . . .   He wrote up his remarks in this CNN commentary America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.

Elise Stefanik: smiting the unworthy - American Thinker   . . ."We saw this clearly at the hearing. The lady presidents had their noses so high in the air that they couldn’t see the elephant trap that Elise Stefanik so adroitly prepared for them. Sally Kornbluth and Claudine Gay’s robotic delivery and raised-eyebrow disdain were bad enough, but the champ here was the smirking Liz Magill of UPenn, who fairly oozed smug superiority as she set out to put this uppity backwoods congresswoman in her place (“Stefanik? Realllly? What kind of a name is that, anyway?”) Magill fell hard, resigning on Saturday night, the most opportune point of the news cycle, and taking the university trustees board chairman with her. Elise S. can stencil two victories on the side of her fighter jet, with more to come.

Secondly, what the Hell is wrong with these people? Who acts this way? You can’t get beyond the age of twelve in American culture without realizing that smug arrogance gains you nothing and will get you nowhere. If you present a punchable face, you will be punched. How did Kornbluth, Gay, and particularly the smirking twit Magill miss this lesson?

This Chanukah, Let’s Vow to Defeat Our New Oppressors: Higher Education › American Greatness     "We know from history that Jew-hatred, the world’s oldest and once again most fashionable form of bigotry, is the chameleon of all hates — forever taking on new hues to suit the scapegoating needs of the day. It has always been thus, and it will always be thus. This is a cancer for which there is sadly no cure.

. . ."But in the aftermath of Tuesday’s astounding congressional hearing with the presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, during which the demonic triumvirate smirked their way through rigorous bipartisan questioning and repeatedly failed to condemn calls for genocide of the Jewish people as contrary to their universities’ codes of conduct, we must make another related commitment. This Chanukah, modern-day Maccabees and like-minded fellow defenders of our Western heritage must commit to razing to the ground today’s Hellenizers: American higher education." . . .

You have to see how SNL treats Elise Stefanik in this skit  Have you seen anything more juvenile?
