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.

Now was that Honor code or Color code?
I’ll take vocational learners over college anytime. I’ve worked with some really dumb college people who think they are Einsteins.
So blacks are cheats. Thanks for clearing that up.
I guess she never heard of Dr. Ben Carson.
She’s pretty smart for a POC.
Tell me that ain’t racist!
of course they do. it's not like they got in on their grades and test scores... so why hold them to such a standard now?
The term “Dark Ages” is also racist. Good thing I’m working from home, I’m killing myself.
“dismantling the Honor Code system, which acts as a barrier to social mobility and a more equitable society”
Well, sure, if they allow cheating, then anyone can get a Princeton degree. But what she hasn’t considered is that if anyone can get a Princeton degree, then a Princeton degree is worthless.
Sounds to me like she wants to be able to cheat her way through her Physics major. That is a hard subject to major in. :)
One day these idiots will say “racism is racist!!!” and the idiot will mean it.
They really are dumb humans.
Just shows how EVERYTHING is racist now. Also shows that the only escape is to reject the Religion of Anti-Racism and STOP CARING about the Left’s silly labels.
If honesty is white racism then I guess we can’t trust black people....
Got it.
At what point do you not need a booster seat at the table? Is it too much to ask that you play fair, compete honestly and pull your own weight?
This gal’s professors have now been alerted that they need to check her work with special care.
Future employers can draw their own conclusions as well if they run a check on published work.
Doing your own work at a high standard? Racist.
I will really be racist. A person such as this simply can’t cut it and shouldn’t be there. You can’t always blame all of your problems and deficiencies on someone else.
I don’t care who ya are, that right there is funny!
Quotas have consequences.
