Major corporations, including Mastercard, Meta, and Coca-Cola, are quietly sponsoring a Canadian conference headlined by Christopher Rufo, a far-right activist and crusader against diversity initiatives. Many of these same companies, however, champion diversity in their public communications.

Alex Henderson points to a recent report by Sophia Cai showing how Trump's supporters – Elon Musk is at the head of her list – are helping him push his grievances while he's tied up by his trial.
And that makes the New York Times' normalization and assistance of Musk all the more reprehensible.
Jamison Foser reports that the New York Times, "a right-wing newsletter," is using the same playbook it ran last year with Christopher Rufo and Elise Stefanik against Claudine Gay. They're now using it with Rufo and Elon Musk to go after NPR's new CEO Katherine Maher.
Because this is what right-wing newspapers do: they normalize and assist the Rufos, Stefaniks, and Musks as they mount their right-wing attacks.

«The #RightWing activist #ChristopherRufo has links to a self-styled “sociobiology magazine” that is focused on the supposed relationships between #race, #intelligence and #criminality, and which experts have characterized as an outlet for scientific racism.»

I'm looking into this cunt, trying to find info about him
"The true goal of bomb-throwers like Chris Rufo or the amorally ambitious Rep. Elise Stefanik is preventing what right wingers see as the rot of diversity, and real learning about American democracy on campuses like LSU or West Virginia University or Youngstown State. These schools educate far more students than the Ivy League (just 0.4% of all collegians)…."

Have #ChristopherRufo's fingerprints been found on this latest -- bad faith using children as an excuse -- attempt by the right to weaponize censorship, this time on the internet?
"A lot of people are talking about plagiarism and academic integrity right now, who weren’t talking about it as much or in the same way as they were when for example Neil Gorsuch, who will soon decide if an insurrectionist fascist can appear on presidential ballots, was being considered for the Supreme Court."

John McWhorter’s misreading of the pressure that led to Harvard political scientist Claudine Gay’s resignation as president of Harvard University. #111Words #JohnMcWhorter #Linguistics #Politics #NewYorkTimes #Opinion #ClaudineGay #HarvardUniversity #ChristopherRufo #ARMoxon @JuliusGoat https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2024/01/john-mcwhorters-misreading-of-pressure.html
"But [Claudine Gay’s resignation] was actually because Chris Rufo and his fellow eliminationist supremacists, who don’t care a bit about plagiarism or academic integrity, and who in fact are participants in a decades-long conservative campaign to demolish the academy, wanted to destroy her reputation and that of her work and of the institutions and programs of diversity and equity and inclusion that she represents to them.”
@servelan So #MichaelKnowles and #ChristopherRufo on #BillMaher's show in 3...2...1... to misrepresent "woke," "CRT," "DEI," and university presidents?
"What has happened at Harvard is not just a blueprint for taking over higher education; it is a strategy for taking over our information environment."

"The Washington Post will continue to treat cynical attacks on female college presidents as a both-sides free speech debate. CNN’s Jake Tapper will continue to frame Gay’s alleged plagiarism as a real issue rather than a trumped-up way to force her out."

"CNN ran an overwrought headline complaining that Gay’s initial corrections to her publications did not address 'her clearest instances of plagiarism' before mentioning that all the new allegations came from the hyper-conservative Free Beacon. …
The New York Times will continue to give Rufo guest opinion columns to complain about DEI."

"The right wouldn’t be nearly as successful at [its war on higher education] without hefty assistance from a mainstream media all too willing to launder their bad-faith claims. As Georgetown political science professor Don Moynihan noted, the New York Times ran 13 stories about Gay in 10 days."
