Now that the Claudine Gay story has died down in the news cycle, let's look at how much bigger this story can end up being. Where most of the pixels spilled over this story ended with the pushback that got gay "fired" to only getting paid $900K per year, that turned out to be only the beginning.
Billionaire Bill Ackman decided to stop donating to his alma mater, and led the charge to have Gay removed. But then The Empire Struck Back, via a Business Insider hit piece that tried to smear his wife with with plagiarism charges. One might question the wisdom of trying to slander a billionaire with a penchant for fighting, and we're in the early stages of seeing why this was a bad idea. But that's not the best part.
Over on Twitter, Wokal Distance laid down an 8 part thread that brought up a great point I'm mad at myself for having missed:

What @realchrisrufo has done by starting the plagiarism wars is to get people outside academia to actually READ all of the insane nonsense that's being produced by activist professors.
Now regular people, even those who hate Rufo, will be forced to confront the fact...

In case this segment of the Tweet ends up getting memory holed for some reason:
What @realchrisrufo has done by starting the plagiarism wars is to get people outside academia to actually READ all of the insane nonsense that's being produced by activist professors.That's right. These garbage "research papers" that have become what Chris Plante would refer to as "a circle fest in a hot tub" are now going to get scrutiny by the Normals living outside academia. And this isn't the best part either. Where I had been envisioning a call to arms for an Army of Davids...Now regular people, even those who hate Rufo, will be forced to confront the fact...

So we sunk 4 carriers?
Are they still requiring Yellow Stars on Jewish students?
Ironic, since Yamamoto attended Harvard.
It is time to denazify Harvard.
How many know that Harvard’s Memorial Church has marble tablets that honor the school’s graduates that fought against the United States in the world wars - including at least one Nazi.
That, and the school’s president being soft on genocide, is not a good look.
The time to write off Harvard as a cesspool of Leftism was decades ago.
I asked my younger brother, one of the brothers with a PhD, how he pre-checked his papers prior to submission to Journals etc.
I was surprised that he ran these thru *more than one* AI based ‘plagiarism checker’. Seems that being certain you are above reproach is important. He is no longer in the Academia-Industrial complex and he was offended by the “Dr” Gay controversy.
This, because it makes everyone look bad. Cheater or not.
BTW, loved the graphic in the OP.
Yamamoto is also alleged to have said after Pearl Harbor:
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a s leeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
He knew of the industrial might of the USA.
Sending your kid to Harvard is not what it used to be. Clearly Harvard degrees are for sale. And clearly Harvard is simply a litmus test for how woke you essay is. You do not get an education there. You get an indoctrination. The only problem is that there are few schools that are good. So our university system is broken.
Suggesting Midway also implies victory will ultimately require nuking them.
The battle of midway was an unbelievably lucky strike that took out several Japanese battleships during our most vulnerable time in the war. It bought us time to build and repair an entire fleet. We would have lost Hawaii if we did not have such a decisive win at Midway.
Haavard started the educational Midway.
Yes and a great way to put it.
We won Midway because we did our homework better than the Japanese did.
So, yes this is analogous to Midway.
“Is Harvard The Battle of Midway in Restoring Education?”
No, it is fallout from the basic problem. The battle is with the removal of politicians that think education can be controlled.

“Elite” University Presidents. They are the equivalent of capital ships ;-)
“The battle of midway was an unbelievably lucky strike ..
Tell that to Joe Rochefort and his code breakers.
No - just flush these schools down the toilet where they belong.
Since they hate whites, whites should shun them completely. Quit hiring their people. Quit giving them money. Quit applying. Send lawyers to sue, politicians to defund.
Jews should do likewise - let the woke, Marxist and muzzies have the place... we’ll go to private schools and start our own businesses.
The university reached its maturity 60 years ago. It is now in the post-maturity stage, time for wholesale renewal.
It used to be that to be an “Influencer” you had to get a good college education.
Now look what passes for “Influencers” today.
She just another foreigner bleeding America while complaining about how racist this country is.
