The President of Duke, (whose name doesn’t come to mind)
is just one among thousands of go-along-to-get-along weasels in high places that authoritarian cultures find so ‘useful’. The PC culture that was so pervasive in determining EVERY aspect OF this case, is our modern equivalent, sorry to say, of a kind of defeated groupthink that all totalitarian/authoritarian regimes create over time, and impose on their populace. Here, just like Soviet Russia, Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, you name it, the principal actors in these ‘incidents’ operate out of fear, cowardice, and , worst of all, careerism. We are supposed to have a choice in this country, as to how to behave, and what side to take on an issue, since nothing is absolutely imposed from above on pain of death, but look at the choices that Nifong and the Duke U. President made.
