SCOOP: Bank of America Corp. teaches employees that the United States is a system of "white supremacy," promotes "the abolishment of the police," and instructs workers to "decolonize [their] mind[s]" and become "woke at work."

The whistleblower documents will shock you.🧵
Earlier this year, Bank of America and the United Way implemented a race reeducation program called United in Action, encouraging employees to participate in a "Racial Equity 21-Day Challenge," built on the principles of critical race theory and intersectionality.
On day one, Bank of America teaches employees that the United States is a "racialized society" that "use[s] race to establish and justify systems of power, privilege, disenfranchisement, and oppression, which "give[s] privileges to white people."
According to the training program, all whites—"regardless of one's socioeconomic class background or other disadvantages"—are "living a life with white skin privileges." Even white toddlers are guilty and must be "taught to recognize and reject the 'smog' of white privilege."
Over the next three days, Bank of America teaches that whites are more likely to "have more limited imagination," "experience fear, anxiety, guilt, or shame," and "contribute to racial tension, hatred, and violence."

People of color, on the other hand, cannot be racist.
Next, Bank of America instructs white employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and confront their "white privilege" and "white fragility," in order to "discover where [they] are on the privilege spectrum" and "if [they] exhibit 'white fragility' traits."
Later, Bank of America teaches that the policing system was founded on white supremacist "slave patrols" and, according to activists, can be solved through "the defunding and even the abolishment of the police."
In the final days, BofA tells employees to "decolonize [their] mind[s]" and become "woke at work." Participants must admit that "[their] words and actions are inherently shaped and influenced by systemic oppression" and must "cede power to people of color."

Law enforcement should make it clear to university presidents that, if they are unwilling to expel violent protestors, they cannot expect the police to serve as a foil and do the clean-up work. The universities made this mess; we should not allow them to shift the responsibility.
The best approach for law enforcement is to create containment zones, prevent violence, ignore provocations, and avoid displays of highly public enforcement, which allow the pro-Hamas demonstrators to play the victim. Hold the line; let the universities deal with it.
The other approach, which the feds successfully used in Portland during George Floyd, is to identify ringleaders who are engaged in illegal activity and do nighttime snatch-and-grabs. This avoids the spectacle of mass confrontation and removes the most significant threats.

The key is to lock in the circle of connotations around the Ivy League. They stacked faculties with “decolonization” scholars, recruited left-wing student activists, and hired sympathetic administrators. We need to drive internal conflicts and connect all of the dots in public.
The second step is to remind voters that they are subsidizing these ideologies, and, more importantly, these people, through direct federal support, student loans, and Biden’s debt payoff scheme (don’t call it “debt forgiveness”). Call to action should be “defund the Ivy League.”
It’s important to remember that we should not throw Ivy League administrators a lifeline. The Right should be careful not to overreact; the best approach is to remain quiet and let the Left tear itself apart. The longer the encampments stay, the more the Left will fracture.

EXCLUSIVE: @LukeRosiak and I have discovered that the DEI director of UCLA Medical School, Natalie J. Perry, plagiarized multiple long passages in her PhD dissertation, which is her only published academic work.

The plagiarism here is shocking. 🧵
UCLA Med School has been in the news recently for promoting ideology about "Indigenous womxn," "two-spirits," and "structural racism." A guest speaker praised and two residents championed "revolutionary suicide."

The DEI director, who advances "anti-racism," is Natalie Perry. Image
But according to our exclusive analysis, Perry's career is predicated on academic fraud. Her PhD dissertation plagiarized material from ten other papers, which she did not attribute or put in quotations. The examples are brazen:

EXCLUSIVE: Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook is one of the most powerful economists in the world. But @LukeRosiak and I have discovered that her academic work appears to contain plagiarism, according to her former university’s policy.

The plagiarism scandal hits the Fed. 🧵
There have long been questions about Cook’s academic work. Her publication history is quite thin, contains serious methodological errors, and largely focuses on race activism rather than rigorous, quantitative econ. She had trouble getting approved by the Senate.
Image
Image
We have found that, in a series of academic papers spanning more than a decade, Cook appears to have copied language from other scholars without proper quotation and duplicated her own work and that of coauthors in multiple academic journals, without proper attribution.

Absolutely, I will share ten stories with original source documentation proving that this is, in fact, how many, if not most, Fortune 100 companies consider DEI.

Buckle up for the woke capital thread of thread. 🧵

EXCLUSIVE: Harvard racial-studies professor @ChristinaJCross plagiarized multiple passages in her dissertation and at least one other paper, according to a new complaint filed with Harvard’s research integrity office.

Harvard's plagiarism crisis is spinning out of control. 🧵
Christina Cross is a rising star in the field of critical race studies. She earned a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, garnered attention from the New York Times, and won a slate of awards for her dissertation, including one from the American Sociological Association.
Image
Image
The most serious allegation in the complaint is that Cross lifted an entire paragraph nearly verbatim from a paper by Stacey Bosick and Paula Fomby—the latter of whom was her dissertation advisor—without citing the source or placing verbatim language in quotations.
