I particularly like the idea of the proposed anti-racist committee to vet all research. How do you reckon that'll go?
Here's a fine quote from a commenter below the article:
"This may be a contrarian viewpoint, and I am certainly oversimplifying things however… I am not particularly concerned with the barbarians tearing apart Ivy League institutions. While I agree 100% with the author’s sentiments, these elite universities have pioneered levels of stupidity and cupidity within their various 'disciplines' for so long that part of me is secretly glad for the 'comeuppance.'
These cultural gatekeepers have invited this rot into their system and now they cry foul as they are consumed by their own progeny."

didn’t anyone speak up?”, they need to look at examples of bravery like this. Almost no professors have the courage to say anything, though even in those liberal circles, most find this level of threatening cancel culture to be terrifying.
Someone has to stand up to the insanity. This man did. Going forward, none of the others have any credibility criticizing the Germans or others like them because they sat silently and let it happen the same as they did in order to avoid retribution.
