You can get away with intellectual dishonesty at Harvard

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Shakespeare’s supercliché doesn’t begin to describe what is going on in Harvard. With time, it’s natural to expect a hidden skeleton in a family’s house. But in Harvardian Alma Mater there seems to be a full ossuary in plain wiew, for those who like to keep track and don’t buy the way the mainstream media oversees this, and it’s evident that more than a culture of plagiarizing has set camp in the most prestigious college in America. It’s more of a “We can get away with anything” culture. 

Witness Fareed Zakaria. This particularly egregious Harvard alumnus, one of the shapers of the current derrotist American state of mind, has been caught red-handed plagiarizing paragraphs from the New Yorker for a piece he wrote for Time Magazine and CNN, and “repeating himself” in a lot of his conferences. He was “temporarily” suspended, and cynically reinstated after his deed was deemed as an “isolated incident”. And Jayson Blair is a sucker

Witness Elizabeth Warren. She has done very little of substance to refute the serious charges of gaming the affirmative action system to get hired in Harvard, only to drop her minority status when she no longer found it suitable, only to conveniently reclaim it now that she’s running against Scott Brown for “Ted Kennedy’s” senatorial seat in Massachusetts. Not satisfied with this, she claims to be the first nursing woman to pass the bar exam in the bluest of the blue states in America. Not content with this, she has been caught red-handed plagiarizing receipts for a “native” cookbook. And she still has a chance to win the election

Witness 125 Harvard University undergraduates being investigated for plagiarism on a final exam earlier this year, “the most widespread cheating scandal in living memory”, according to college officials. Hey, I told you those brilliant kids study at Harvard; and they think they can get away with anything

The list could go on and on, but just by mentioning SCOTUS Elena Kagan and her mishandling of yet another plagiarism case when she was the dean of Harvard Law School, for instance, it could suffice to prove how the “We can get away with anything” culture permeates everything. The fact is, the most famous college in America is more concerned with political correctness and influence than with academic excellence, and this is what they get. 

Not to mention truth.

I hate these days. People are telling you to STFU. Just say it, no matter how stupid or offensive it is.
