Please do not equate The Reverend King with Jill Biden. He had a doctorate in theology from seminary and regardless of his personal foibles was extremely well educated.
I’d have to look back quite a way to see. We know china joe did in ‘88 with some of his speeches. But he’s all better now apparently.
Yes he did but it was a lot harder then.
No computer word processing, no copy and paste.
So he got partial credit for writing it out by hand.
don’t know but biden plagiarizes all the time and wallace lets it slide
Apples and oranges.
Drs King and Kissinger weren't functional illiterates as Jill is. The two men contributed to the culture in memorable ways.
Jill's main contribution seems to be throwing her weight behind getting a demented oldster elected to the Oval Office.
I will commit the ultimate blasphemy and state Michael King was just another radical Marxist agitator.
From an October 11, 1991 NYT article:
“A committee of scholars appointed by Boston University concluded today that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. plagiarized passages in his dissertation for a doctoral degree at the university 36 years ago.
“There is no question,” the committee said in a report to the university’s provost, “but that Dr. King plagiarized in the dissertation by appropriating material from sources not explicitly credited in notes, or mistakenly credited, or credited generally and at some distance in the text from a close paraphrase or verbatim quotation.”
Despite its finding, the committee said that “no thought should be given to the revocation of Dr. King’s doctoral degree,” an action that the panel said would serve no purpose.
But the committee did recommend that a letter stating its finding be placed with the official copy of Dr. King’s dissertation in the university’s library.”
A simple Lexus/Nexus examination would find that over 80% of his thesis was plagiarized. Any other person that was found to have plagiarized their thesis, whether living or dead, would have the Ph.D. removed unceremoniously. Since King was conferred his doctorate with affirmative action as well as his holiday and other honors, he is "hands off" by all.
yes but they let him keep it
