Rafe Heydel-Mankoo on X: Jason Arday’s resignation is not the end of this story. It is the beginning. His enablers must be held to account. This is a national scandal involving universities, DEI programmes, the police and leading figures in academia, media & politics. This is a major crisis for Cambridge, with its reputation severely damaged. Our Woke establishment has been utterly humiliated. The brains of leading figures in public life have been so addled by the woke mind virus that they simply couldn't or wouldn't see what everyone else could. Labour MPs by the bucketload, respected academics etc. etc. all blinded (brainwashed) by ideology. They willingly put their reputations on the line, instinctively circling the waggons around Arday without pausing for a second to consider whether any of the allegations might have some substance. A normal person would die from shame. This is truly devastating for nonsensical subjects such as Critical Race Theory - a ridiculous field of study with no empirical or scientific foundation, taught by substandard "academics" spouting drivel. Jason Arday's academic output in Critical Race Theory was excruciatingly bad, yet his superiors touted him as a world leader. What a damning indictment of CRT. And it should sound the death knell for D.E.I. programmes, too. How many other Jason Ardays are out there? People hired and promoted over others despite having no talent, skills or qualifications but simply because they tick the right diversity boxes. This should lead to much soul searching - and root and branch investigations - across the UK, USA, Canada and everywhere else that has embraced this damaging policy of self harm. Heads also need to roll in the Metropolitan Police for trying to silence a reputable journalist at Times Higher Education. His crime? Politely emailing careful questions to the fantasist Arday. This outrageous attack on the freedom of the press is deeply sinister. I can't think of another incident which has so effectively exposed the corruption, incompetence and ideological capture of key British institutions and public figures.
