In a world where hard work and rational thinking are conflated with “whiteness,” it makes sense that prohibitions on cheating would be characterized as systemically racist. That’s precisely the “anti-racist” hill one Princeton University sophomore chose to proverbially die upon.
In an article for Princeton’s college newspaper, The Daily Princetonian, sophomore Emilly Santos argues that “American systems of legal administration enact violence against minority populations,” which includes the criminal justice system. “Princeton’s Honor Code, tasked with holding students accountable and honest in academic settings, mirrors the criminal justice system in its rules and effects.”
Santos then outlines that the disciplinary actions imposed — such as suspension, withholding of financial aid, a record on your transcript, or even expulsion — on students who violate the honor code affect minority or “first-generation low-income (FLI) students” the most, whom she argues are unprepared at navigating such a system in the first place. As such, Santos recommends that “the University should lead by example by dismantling the Honor Code system, which acts as a barrier to social mobility and a more equitable society.”
That prohibitions on cheating and plagiarizing are now conflated with systemic racism shows how effectively propagandized the nation’s allegedly best and brightest — at Ivy League schools, no less — have become. That Santos seriously recommends dismantling the honor code solely for racial “equity” implies she believes low-income minority students must cheat or plagiarize to excel academically at Princeton. In other words, Santos is engaging in the soft bigotry of low expectations at the expense of her college classmates.

Would you trust a doctor who cheated on his exams?
Would you want them training on you because they cheated?
Color blind meritocracy does not guarantee preferred outcomes for preferred groups.

You’d think someone might ask these idiots why this country has been so successful. And then ask why their country wasn’t.
Automobiles were invented by white men. The internal combustion engine was invented by white men. Gasoline was invented by white men.
Driving a car is cultural appropriation.
That's a tough program ... arguably the toughest of them all.
Is she planning to cheat her way through it?
So, if you need a lawyer or Doctor in the future who’s a Princeton graduate...pass.
Not according to South Park.
Would you drive a car designed by engineers who cheated on their exams, over a bridge designed by engineers who cheated on their exams, to work in a skyscraper designed by engineers who cheated on their exams?
She regurgitates the woke cliches very well
Extra non-binary red-stars for Emilly!
According to this dunce, blacks and other minorities cannot reach excellence so cheating and dishonor is acceptable.
I think other blacks and minorities would have difficulty agreeing with her depraved mind.
”Princeton can't solve the mental health crisis without divesting from fossil fuels”
Snip — “As Ivy League students, we’re considered the next generation of leaders. Ironically, however, our declining mental health is weaponized by those in power and used against us in discrediting our calls to reverse climate change. Our generation is considered too emotionally stunted to understand that we’re facing a climate emergency, and too unreliable to lead the uprising against the continued use of fossil fuels and deforestation of carbon sinks across the world. We are presented as people unable to have clear perspectives, especially not on issues of global importance, often as a result of our struggles with mental health.”
She proves her own assertions.
Will make it easier to search on the internet, certainly.
—”you can’t cheat your way toward “equity” because some people will be better at it than others. “
Apparently, Ted Kennedy lacked in his cheating abilities.
They only caught him a few times, probably a frequent flyer.
“Would you trust a doctor who cheated on his exams?”
Or one who was admitted to medical school because of Affirmative Action?
I wonder if she’s related to George.
