In a shocker to start the new year, Harvard President Claudine Gay announced her resignation on Tuesday. She had been under fire after her disastrous testimony before Congress late last year regarding antisemitism on college campuses. Then, numerous plagiarism accusations over Gay’s earlier works surfaced in recent weeks. It became too much for Harvard University and led to Gay’s resignation. So Gay resorted to the very thing that every leftist does when broiled in controversy: play the race card.
“Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus,” Gay wrote in her resignation letter.

It’s all just an attempted deflection to rile up and agitate left-wingers nationwide and deflect from the root of Claudine Gay’s failures: Claudine Gay. Her answers before Congress, fueled by her adherence to radical left-wing ideology, and an apparent inability to cite other people’s works in her writings are among the reasons she resigned from Harvard, not racism.
“These last weeks have helped make clear the work we need to do to build that future — to combat bias and hate in all its forms, to create a learning environment in which we respect each other’s dignity and treat one another with compassion, and to affirm our enduring commitment to open inquiry and free expression in the pursuit of truth,” Gay wrote. “I believe we have within us all that we need to heal from this period of tension and division and to emerge stronger.”

But this is just Gay’s latest sophistry. She must imply she was a victim of racial bias because it deflects from the fact it was her own poor choices, left-wing ideology, and judgment that brought upon her troubles. And just like former University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill wasn’t ousted because she was a white woman, neither was Gay for being a black woman. Claudine Gay thought she was invincible, too big to fail, and flew too close to the sun. And like Icarus, Claudine Gay caused her own failure(s).
We have seen these kinds of acts many times before, each more despicable than the last. As such, we should be privy to them and reject them for the performative fake outrage it is. It is 2024 and long past time to denounce acts like Gay’s false and deceitful claims of racial bias. No one should be fooled by these antics anymore.
