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.

Bingo.
Snow is racist. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is a racist story. Ed Snowden is racist, as his racist surname attests. The government has to surveil its subjects (sic) to make sure they aren’t being racist. Everything is racist! Racists are making me paranoid!
PLEASE, GOD, make sure this “Emily” person NEVER gets hired in any capacity anywhere in the USA.
I would bet $$$$$$$$$ that PHYSICS is one course that has NO WIGGLE ROOM.
Thinking like a death-worthy vote-stealing cheating democrat.
When can we close down the universities? They are producing imbeciles.
In this guy’s defense, it’s a common part of chinese and indian cultures to cheat their way through school. Who are we to judge? “diversity” is our national religion so we should not question their culture, ok?
There’s that “Equitable” word again that squashes achievers... GFY Santos.
When you are a leftist, you see racism EVERYWHERE. Everything is racist.
What a great essay to accompany her internship application for The Babylon Bee! No? She is serious?????
Wow, wait until they study black holes.
They obviously don’t realize that by trying to dumb down the system they are in fact stating that whites are superior. They keep saying that they have to lie, steal and cheat to be close to equal with whites. That is totally the wrong message. You are respected if you succeed with a perceived handicap. You get no respect if you get it handed to you. And they taint every one else that may have done it right.

I thought Freshman Orientation was supposed to take care of that.
So did I, and as a philosophy major what would cheating have gotten me in the real world?
Is it safe to infer this student is saying certain minority races are inherently dishonest?
Oh, just go ahead and say it: Learning anything is racist. Breathing is racist. Being happy is racist. Having a race is racist.
I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS IDIOCY!
You imagine that they actually think?
Give Santos all “F” grades for “Fu*cked up”.
Affirmative Action student?
cheating on college courses just means we get undeserving, unprepared, low ability people in the workforce....
When everything is racist to we reach nirvana?
Woody Allen said he cheated on his metaphysics final by peering into the soul of the boy sitting next to him.
