By doing\u2063 so,\u2064 the AP perpetuates a biased narrative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conservative activist Christopher Rufo, \u2063who played a significant \u200brole in exposing Gay&#8217;s \u2062plagiarism, responded to her resignation by tweeting &#8220;SCALPED.&#8221; The AP portrays this tweet as an act of violence, linking it to \u200cthe historical practice of scalping by white \u200ccolonists. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/san-franciscos-homeless-part-vi\/\" title=\"SF Homeless, Part VI\">historical evidence shows<\/a> that scalping was \u200cnot exclusive to\u2064 white colonists but was practiced by Native Americans themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Scalping: A Practice \u200bPrevalent Among Native \u2064Americans<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Historical accounts reveal \u2064that scalping was already prevalent among\u200c Native Americans before the arrival of colonists. For instance,\u2064 Jacques \u2064Cartier encountered the Stadaconans in 1535, \u200dwho\u200d showed him scalps of\u2062 Indians\u200b they had taken in battle. Frenchman Jacques Ie \u2064Moyne witnessed \u200bthe Timucuans&#8217; scalping \u200bpractice in Florida in 1564. The English also witnessed the \u200bIndian custom of scalping when they settled in Virginia and were\u200d attacked by the Powhatan Confederacy in 1608.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the evidence, the\u200d AP fails to acknowledge the\u200c historical context and instead \u2064focuses on Gay&#8217;s\u200d resignation.\u200b While Gay did not directly address the plagiarism accusations in her resignation letter, the AP highlights the conservative activists&#8217; reviews and a Harvard committee&#8217;s findings \u200cof &#8220;multiple shortcomings&#8221; in her \u200cacademic citations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Irene Mulvey of the American Association of University\u200d Professors expresses concern that plagiarism investigations could be\u2063 &#8220;weaponized&#8221; as part of a right-wing \u2062political attack on higher education. She believes this poses a \u200cthreat \u200bto \u200dthe academic freedom\u200c that has made American higher education renowned worldwide.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Associated Progressives (AP) is trying to \u200crun\u200b the\u2063 false narrative that &#8220;white \u200bcolonists&#8221; invented scalping &#8220;to eradicate Native Americans,&#8221;\u200d without noting \u200cthat, in fact, the Indians originated\u2063 the practice in North America and, in modern times,\u2063 it is \u2064a common journalistic phrase.\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LmiippwIu0\">pic.twitter.com\/LmiippwIu0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Christopher F.\u200c Rufo \u2064\u2694\ufe0f (@realchrisrufo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realchrisrufo\/status\/1742561283051020500?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 3, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This\u200b is the beginning of the end for DEI in America&#8217;s institutions.

Plagiarism is a serious ethical breach in academia and should not \u2063be taken lightly. It undermines the integrity of scholarly work and erodes the trust between academics and their colleagues and students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">While it is essential to address and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-patrol-sounds-alarm-on-bidens-repeal-of-title-42\/\" title=\"Border Patrol Sounds Alarm on Biden\u2019s Repeal of Title 42\">hold individuals accountable<\/a> for\u200c any wrongdoing, it \u2063is concerning how the AP attempts to deflect attention from the plagiarism accusations by portraying conservatives \u2062as using them as a &#8220;weapon&#8221; against leftists in higher education. This framing detracts from the \u200dseriousness of the\u200c allegations and undermines the integrity of the academic community as a whole.<\/p>\n<h3>Political \u2064Bias: Divisive Reporting<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The AP&#8217;s article demonstrates a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-tell-oversight-board-facebooks-trump-ban-example-of-uneven-standards\/\" title=\"Republicans Tell Oversight Board Facebook\u2019s Trump Ban Example of Uneven Standards\">clear political bias<\/a>\u200d by not\u200b only accusing conservatives of employing plagiarism charges as a political \u2064tactic but also using the opportunity to\u2063 vilify white Americans.\u200d This kind of reporting only serves to further divide and polarize society, perpetuating animosity between different political ideologies\u200d and racial groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Journalism should strive\u2063 for\u200b objectivity and fairness, providing readers with accurate and unbiased information. Unfortunately, the AP&#8217;s article falls short of these standards, \u2063presenting a biased\u200b narrative that undermines the credibility of the news organization.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Associated Press&#8217;s article\u2062 on the resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay \u2063raises \u200cconcerns about journalistic integrity and political bias. While addressing the plagiarism allegations is important, the AP&#8217;s attempt to \u200dvilify white Americans and portray conservatives as using plagiarism charges as a political tool is divisive and misleading. Journalism plays \u200ca vital role in informing the public, and it is crucial for news organizations to uphold \u2062the\u2063 principles of objectivity, accuracy, and fairness in their reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press accused conservatives of weaponizing plagiarism charges against leftists in higher education, as Harvard president Claudine Gay resigned amidst chronic plagiarism accusations.
