We knew Gay all too well. She had a two-parent middle-class household and the very best American education at Phillips Exeter Academy, Stanford, and Harvard. She is married to a senior research analyst in the Department of Health and Research at Stanford who got his PhD in political science at Harvard. That someone as privileged as Gay chose to steal the work of so many others shows very bad character that exemplifies the epithet "entitlement." As in: "I am entitled to steal your words and claim them as mine." Moreover, she did so in academia, betraying a lack of intelligence and originality, along with the sense that she would never be held accountable for her theft. No wonder she couldn't handle antisemitism at Harvard: she hasn't the spine or words. An example should definitely be made of her for years and years and years as we struggle to maintain worthy academic standards in the United States.
