    He/their? Assuming a typo, but funny to me considering today’s silly pronoun games.

    She appears to be taking cues for the Grifter Playbook.

    She made a big splash a couple of years ago after going on Fox to make those same claims. Was being quoted by conservatives everywhere after that. Then another thread was started on her last month here.
    But her claims are really questionable for a several reasons. For one, she claimed that Columbia had dismissed Jane Austen as a bigoted, colonialist white supremacist and that only brain-washed simpletons wouldn't realize that.
    But the university was offering quite a few Austen classes at the time. Maybe one person had said that, but it was hardly the university's stance.

    Exactly what I’ve been arguing. Once we open the door for one side to silence an argument, it is certain the other side will also walk though it.

    I was commenting on the speculation of his post...Or more to the point the constant speculation of this board.

    It seemed you missed that.
