I found it interesting that Christopher Rufo, in his words “ launched the Claudine Gay plagiarism story from the right,’ ...”The next step (was) is to smuggle it into the media apparatus of the left, legitimizing the narrative to centre-left actors who have the power to topple her. Then squeeze."
From the article:
“The plagiarism allegations that led to Dr Gay's resignation were surfaced by Christopher Rufo, a right-wing activist best known for the cultural battle over alleged teaching of Critical Race Theory in US schools. ‘ We launched the Claudine Gay plagiarism story from the right,’ Mr Rufo wrote. The next step is to smuggle it into the media apparatus of the left, legitimizing the narrative to centre-left actors who have the power to topple her. Then squeeze." |
