Claudine Gays demotion from the presidency at Harvard University is being painted by liberal media (and Gay herself) as part of a conservative attack on liberal institutions and our elitist betters. In reality, it is Gay and her fellow liberals who are destroying the respect those institutions crave. <\/p>\n
Gay resigned her executive post after being mired in a plagiarism scandal shortly after saying that calling for the genocide of Jews didnt violate Harvards student code of conduct. Despite this, she will remain at Harvard as a professor, reportedly with a $900,000 salary. After her numerous plagiarism violations, you would think it wouldnt need to be said that Gay and her defenders were the ones destroying Harvards credibility by promoting her in the first place and allowing her to remain on as a professor. And yet here we are. <\/p>\n
TRANSPARENCY GROUP BEHIND TRUMP BALLOT REMOVAL EFFORT HAS LONG RELIED ON LEFT-WING DARK MONEY <\/p>\n
Gay summarized the liberal narrative as follows: This was merely a single skirmish in a broader war to unravel public faith in pillars of American society. Campaigns of this kind often start with attacks on education and expertise, because these are the tools that best equip communities to see through propaganda. But such campaigns dont end there. Trusted institutions of all types from public health agencies to news organizations will continue to fall victim to coordinated attempts to undermine their legitimacy and ruin their leaders credibility. <\/p>\n
The biggest mistake is there in that final sentence. <\/p>\n
It is not coordinated attempts by bad actors that are undermining the legitimacy of these institutions and ruining leaders credibility. It is the institutions and leaders themselves doing that. Harvard promoted Gay, with a paltry academic record that we now know was bolstered by plagiarized materials, because she was a liberal ideologue and an examplar of the leftist notion of diversity. She was neither qualified nor prepared for the job. Harvard did that to itself. <\/p>\n

The same is true for public health agencies and news organizations, Gays other two big examples. Liberal establishment news outlets, such as the Associated Press and the New York Times, have consistently exposed themselves as partisans who will not report news accurately to inform people if that news hurts their political allies. Public health experts torched their credibility throughout the pandemic by painting any opponents of their guidance as science deniers, even as those experts contradicted their own guidance in their support of ideological protests (Black Lives Matter) and in their own actions. <\/p>\n
It is liberal activists and ideologues butchering the reputations of these institutions by hollowing them out, discarding their intended purposes, and using the husk of what is left to mask their partisan and ideological goals as respectable and bolstered by the reputation of, say, Harvard. The damage being done to these institutions is being done by these institutions on behalf of mediocrities such as Claudine Gay. They are the threats to education and expertise that Gay is so worried about. <\/p>\n
