John Harwood Exposes the Kind of Trap Christopher Rufo Specializes in Exploiting

Townhall Media

I've been covering former Harvard president Claudine Gay's resignation for the past couple of days, and it's been enlightening. She's an academic fraud who has no business being at Harvard. As Christopher Rufo said, we're now seeing journalists against journalism. Several so-called journalists didn't think the story should be covered and were upset that the New York Times fell for Rufo's trap and caved and did a story on her plagiarism charges. No one cares, and therefore, no one should report on it.

Then there are the usual suspects who have made it all about race: Jemele Hill, Ibram X. Kendi, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Marc Lamont Hill, Mara Gay, Wajahat Ali … the list goes on. 

Why are they so defensive of Gay? Because people accuse her of being a diversity hire, the product of DEI. Gay was a champion of DEI — as I reported, she saw a hallway full of portraits and created a task force to "reduce the visual presence" of white men on campus. After the courts struck down affirmative action so that Harvard could no longer discriminate against white and Asian students in admission, she was determined to keep doing business as usual.

I mentioned "journalist" John Harwood in the headline, but I think he's just quoting from a piece in New York Magazine by Jonathan Chait. Nevertheless, he thought these were the most relevant sentences:

So Rufo is using the Left's playbook and succeeding. He brought critical race theory to the forefront and made it sound like a bad thing. Then he did the same thing with academic queer theory. And now he's going after DEI.

Rufo gets results and they hate him for it because he's a conservative.

Exactly.

I had a vision of Ron DeSantis being elected president and making Rufo education secretary. But the first thing they'd do is abolish the Department of Education.
