The Guardian's article on a scientist linked to eugenicists and their involvement in the push to oust Harvard's Claudine Gay has sparked controversy. The article has been criticized for its use of the label 'eugenicists' and the exposure it provides. The issue has also led to discussions on free speech, anti-Semitism, and the influence of fake scientific racism in higher education.

Somewhat surprised to see that @guardianscience has known antifa associates writing for them now. (The author of this piece is pictured below behind camera, next to guy in brass knuckles). But I suppose scientific credentials are not required when the target is @realchrisrufo https://t.co/1q6DUFP1Hi

I do not adore this. The label ‘eugenicists’ is deployed rather too easily, and of course, this exposure is precisely what they want. The paper cited was utter dogshite. Scientist cited in push to oust Harvard’s Claudine Gay has links to eugenicists. https://t.co/CdrbRnxDZu

Anyway, Rufo's anti-DEI propaganda has always been thinly veiled white supremacy and the veil just slipped. Scientist cited in push to oust Harvard’s Claudine Gay has links to eugenicists https://t.co/gAAF8IMzPm
