What you fear is what you avoid, and leftists avoid accountability because it scares them the most. NY Post contributor Adam Coleman shares this story. It can shatter their persona as the infallible enlightened ones who are singularly equipped to save society from itself. So when exposed as frauds, they don’t take responsibility — they play the victim. Reading the resignation letter from Harvard’s former president, Claudine Gay, I noticed more about what she didn’t comment on than what she diligently wrote for public consumption. “It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president. This is not a decision I came to easily,” announced the put-upon Gay. “Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.” Gay ended her letter with a rallying cry: “I trust we will all find ways, in this time of intense challenge and controversy, to recommit ourselves to the excellence, the openness, and the independence that are crucial to what our university stands for — and to our capacity to serve the world.” Gay advocating for a commitment to excellence amid being exposed for committing dozens of instances of plagiarism is like Freddy Krueger advocating for children to sleep well at night.
