@trishaposner Not only will she keep her job despite her recent activities, it seems she plagiarized sections of her pubs: bit.ly/3GGVG3q Anyone else who did this would be fired ASAP. Not holding my breath.

A Harvard Jewish student reacts to the news that Claudine Gay will keep her job. He nails it. Jews do not count. "What if this was a different minority? What if Claudine Gay had said this about Black people, about Gay people, about Asian Americans?" "When it comes to Jewish people, all of a sudden we wish we could do something, but we just can’t because of the First Amendment, is breathtaking in its hypocrisy" #Antisemitism
