King was a great man and leader but who ever called him a "great scholar"?
Being a Doctor of Divinity in any faith, of any race or ethnicity, isn't a huge challenge, nor, given the immediate tasks at hand, should it be.
Was King correct about Vietnam? A lot more so than LBJ's "best and brightest," that's for sure
I'm going to Waffle House for eggs and grits now myself. Honey pie named Kataenta is waitressing this morn. See ya' there!
SMH....He graduated from college as teenager.
Still trying to diminish how great and brave Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is I see. I never said he was a great scholar. When did I say that. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, was a great human being, a very brave man, a great leader, a great speaker
"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men — yes, Black men as well as white men — would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds.
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges."
Rufo’s wife plagiarized and he claims a “Harvard degree” that’s from their extension school. Waiting for someone to explain how these kinds of dishonesty are acceptable.

He is a plagiarist, too!
Why the down votes? MLK, Jr. plagiarized extensively. Why would you downvote that? Oh, it makes him look bad?!?
Conservatives who are reveling in Claudine Gay schadenfreude might pause to notice that Harvard eventually realized that protecting an insider who had violated institutional norms was destroying the institution, and course-corrected, while the GOP is still saddled with Trump.

You do realize that a degree can be obtained from their extension school right? And you do realize that the extension school is one of Harvard's several schools right?

You would agree that Claudine Gay is a fraud, yes?

Anyone who brags about their degree from an extension school, or does not mention the 'extension' part, knows exactly what they are doing. These schools offer value in the education they provide, but as a credential they are far, far, far removed from the main degree granting schools.
The real question is, after all this, Rufo still seems to see a lot of value in the Harvard name. So we see the misleading signaling he is doing.

For inconsequential plagiarism infractions, instances where the original authors have openly said they felt they were appropriately credited and that it did not amount to theft of their ideas, and for what Harvard does not consider violation of their standards for research misconduct? No, for that it's disingenuous to broadly call her a fraud.

"None of that happened by accident. As Rufo acknowledged to me, Gay’s resignation was the result of a coordinated and highly organized conservative campaign. “It shows a successful strategy for the political right,” he told me. “How we have to work the media, how we have to exert pressure and how we have to sequence our campaigns in order to be successful.”"
"For an operative who works mostly behind the scenes of Republican politics, Rufo isn’t shy about revealing the true motives behind his influence operations. Last month, he told me that his efforts to rehabilitate Richard Nixon’s legacy are part of broader ploy to exonerate former President Donald Trump. When I spoke to him on Tuesday afternoon, he was equally frank about what motivated his efforts to get Gay fired."
