Elitists Wishing Tragedy on Opponents

 

9/12/2026

Prof Uju Anya of Carnegie Mellon is on leave after her incendiary posts (e.g. “Die first, white man”). In response to questions about this statement, she posted "Die first, white man, and then ask why I dance." This isn’t a new habit. In 2022, she wished the Queen of England “an agonizingly painful death.” Between then and now, she won a $270k grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Timur: The professor’s thin research record, narrow intellectual range, and political activism should have prompted serious scrutiny. In a freer intellectual climate, hiring committees might have said plainly that no appointment was warranted, let alone a tenure-track appointment involving decades of commitment by a distinguished university.

But professors who crossed DEI boundaries could pay a steep professional price: stalled promotion, difficulty publishing, ostracism, reputational destruction, and countless hours spent defending their motives rather than doing scholarship. That is how intellectual conformity takes hold—not necessarily through formal censorship (though there was plenty of that), but through the credible threat of professional punishment. So the question for CMU is not simply what to do about one professor. It's whether the university has dismantled the machinery that makes honest judgment so difficult in the first place.

In 2022, Jay Jones in texts with a Republican delegate, wrote that Rep Gilbert deserved to be shot, stating that in a scenario with historical dictators, Gilbert would receive "both bullets every time". He stated that he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her child die so Gilbert would reconsider his stances on gun control.

It Is Not the Principle. It Is Who Holds the Principle. (Including Clancy Jury)

Clancy Jury

They were perfectly comfortable condemning the lone Lindsay Clancy holdout juror right up until one inconvenient fact wandered into the room:

He was Black. Then the gears started grinding. “I have to sit with that.” “That changes the landscape.” “A lot of us were assuming he was white.” Oh, really? What changed? Same juror. Same vote. Same case. Same evidence. Same dead children. Same decision. His skin color entered the chat, and suddenly the moral calculator needed a reboot. That is intersectional politics in one perfect, embarrassing little scene. These people lecture the country about justice while running every moral question through a demographic spreadsheet. Race. Sex. Sexuality. Religion. Victim ranking. Oppression points. Privilege penalties. Then, after all the boxes are checked, they finally decide who is allowed to be criticized. Apparently “right and wrong” now comes with a dropdown menu. Imagine admitting, out loud, that learning a juror was Black “changes the landscape.” You just told everyone that your judgment depended on the race of the person you were judging. Bravo. You accidentally explained the entire scam. DEI and intersectionality sell themselves as moral progress while training people to abandon universal standards the second tribal identity enters the equation. And when the tribes collide? Cue the sweating, the stammering, the “I need to sit with that.” They built a moral system so stupid it can short-circuit over a skin tone. Same facts. Different identity. Suddenly the ethics change. That is the punchline. And somehow they still want to be taken seriously.

In today’s edition of “you can’t make this up,” it appears that the lone holdout in the Lindsay Clancy jury was a Black man. (And the only “person of color” on the jury.)  Watch the TV squawking head CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King who blundered into discovering this:  She literally has no idea what to do. “I have to sit with that.” Her brain cannot solve the equation and determine which tribe she’s supposed to be backing.  She seems disappointed that she can no longer attack that juror, that he has been placed out of reach for criticism.

 Tough problem for western societies.  

Rice Simply Convicts Male Students Based on Claims of Female -- Pays Over $1 Million for Approach

 

In April 2026, a federal jury ordered Rice University to pay $1.3 million in damages to a former male student and football quarterback after finding that the school had discriminated against him based on his gender during a Title IX disciplinary proceeding. [1, 2]

The details of what happened include:

The Accusation: The male freshman (referred to in court documents as John Doe) had a brief consensual relationship with a female junior in 2017. After it ended, the female student filed a Title IX complaint accusing him of failing to disclose his herpes diagnosis before they had sex. [1, 2, 3]
The University's Actions: Rice University investigated the claim and suspended the male student. He was kicked off the football team, stripped of his full-ride scholarship, and banned from stepping foot on campus, which ultimately forced him to withdraw from the university. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Lawsuit & Verdict: The student sued Rice University in 2019. His legal team argued—and a jury later agreed—that the university provided no due process. Rice investigators reportedly refused to interview key witnesses, barred his lawyer from participating, and actively ignored evidence. This included an admission from the female student that he had told her about the STD, as well as testimony from another student indicating she may have contracted it in a prior relationship. [1, 2, 3]

The jury concluded that Rice University violated Title IX guidelines by relying on sex-based stereotypes and archaic assumptions about men and women to run a "rigged" investigation that assumed the male student's guilt.  

The Backstory

The case stemmed from a 2017 relationship between the 18-year-old freshman football player and a 21-year-old female student. Following their breakup, the female student filed a complaint accusing the male student of failing to disclose that he had herpes before they engaged in consensual sex. [1, 2, 3]

What Rice University Did to the Student

Based on the female student's complaint, Rice University’s Student Judicial Programs (SJP) investigated and penalized the male student by: [1]

• Suspending him from the university.
• Banning him from entering any university campus property.
• Releasing him from the football program and stripping him of his full-ride scholarship.
• Forcing his withdrawal from the school due to the sudden loss of financial assistance. [1, 2]

The Lawsuit and Verdict

The male student filed a Title IX lawsuit in 2019, arguing that the university "railroaded" him and ran a rigged, broken system. His defense team presented evidence showing that: [1, 2, 3]

• Due process was denied: The school did not hold a formal hearing, refused to interview his witnesses, took no testimony, and would not allow him to communicate through a lawyer. [1]
• Exculpatory evidence was ignored: Rice investigators refused to interview another male student who was willing to testify that he had contracted herpes from the female student prior to her relationship with the football player. [1]
• Bias was present: The university assumed the male student's guilt based on sex-based stereotypes and archaic assumptions.
  [1]

Ultimately, the jury agreed that Rice selectively enforced its Code of Student Conduct with anti-male bias and awarded the former student $1.32 million in damages for lost and potential future earnings.

Male/Female Wage Gap Accounting for Experience, Major, Job Title, City..

 

 It answers the question: "What is the pay gap when a man and a woman have the exact same major, went to a similar school, work in the same city, hold the same job title, and have identical years of experience?"

Seattle Public Schools Focused on Reducing Gap for Black Males -- Gap Widened.

 

In response to national attention regarding a stark academic achievement gap, Seattle Public Schools (SPS) launched a major initiative in 2019 specifically designed to support and close the educational gap for Black male students. The initiative centers on systemic educational restructuring, targeted mentorship, and community funding. However, despite multi-year efforts, recent data indicates that performance disparities have remained a persistent and widening challenge. [1, 2, 3]

Core Strategies and Initiatives

The district's strategy heavily prioritizes the academic, cultural, and socio-emotional needs of African American young men: [1]

Office of African American Male Achievement (AAMA): Established in 2019, this specialized department focuses entirely on shifting district culture, offering professional development, and cultivating the natural strengths of Black boys and teenagers. [1]
The Kingmakers of Seattle Program: Modeled after a successful program in Oakland, Kingmakers of Seattle operates as an elective course in multiple middle and high schools. It is taught exclusively by Black male facilitators and blends core academics with Black history, identity development, and peer brotherhood. [1, 2, 3]
WHOLE Mentoring & Corporate Partnerships: The district coordinates one-on-one mentorship opportunities. High-profile collaborations, such as the district's partnership with the Seattle Seahawks, connect students to Black mentors in medicine, science, and corporate fields. [1]

Strategic Goals vs. Current Outcomes

The district set bold targets for academic milestones, such as aiming for 70% of seventh-grade Black male students to score "proficient" or higher on standardized math assessments. [1]

However, local education data shows that closing the gap remains uphill: [1]

Stagnant Test Scores: Standardized tracking indicates that a large percentage of targeted students continue to score below proficiency in core reading and math metrics. [1]
Widening Disparities: Critics and local education analysts note that overall proficiency gaps between white and Black students in the district actually widened across several key metrics. [1]
Community Debate: The ongoing push has sparked active local debate. While proponents argue that systemic, race-conscious resource distribution is essential, other community critics point to broader issues like the scaling back of gifted cohorts and changes to disciplinary policies as complicating factors in district-wide performance.
