Truth or Consequences and Plagiarism

Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M Rogers

The downfall of the Harvard University President Claudine Gay for more than 50 alleged incidents of plagiarism in her scholarly work, including her dissertation, was something that was too long coming, but in a sense, should never have happened at all. Surely the Presidential Search Committee at Harvard is better than to have allowed this candidate to rise to the top among some 600+ candidates? But the experience pulled back the curtain re how politics, in particular leftist "woke" DEI politics, is now a religion that supersedes all other considerations, including it would seem truth, excellence, and intellectual honesty. Finally, maybe, the public has become aware of how extensive these leftist doctrines are in education, from kindergarten to graduate school. The problem, though, is not per se a given university president or a given university, even Harvard, but a much broader and deeper wholesale rejection in the academy of traditional Western values, Christian values, in favor of a race, sex perceived oppressor vs oppressed mindset. It's going to take far more than one or two presidents resigning for any kind of hope of real change.
