Scott Adams, Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68

He didn't degrade black folks, it was very nuanced what he said. Leftists don't understand nuance.
That word "disgraced", used both here and in numerous other media articles, drives me crazy.
Just who the **** are they to declare Adams was "disgraced".

There probably are a couple (or more) of poutrage threads on DU parroting misconstructions of what Adams said. It was something along the lines of, if black people really hate whites so much, it would be better for them to live apart. Well, yeah. Continuing to live among/around people who HATE you probably is not exactly prudent and wise.

Educrats being educrats, this "ghost student" fraud has probably happened in some significant degree in every US state and territory.

Nearly 2,000 “ghost students” in Minnesota stole $12.5 million in taxpayer-funded grants and loans, Education Secretary Linda McMahon recently revealed in a letter to the state’s governor.
The letter states that “ghost students” are financial aid applicants who “were not ID-verified and often did not live in the United States, or simply did not exist.” The fake applicants “collected checks from the federal government, shared a small portion of the money with the college, and pocketed the rest—without attending the college at all.”
The letter accuses Minnesota’s political elite of “turn[ing] a blind eye and even help[ing] facilitate the laundering of money that was meant to help America’s least fortunate.”
...
Los Angeles Pierce College Professor of Criminal Justice Kim Rich told The Fix via email that she first noticed the “ghost student” phenomenon firsthand when she led an online class during the COVID pandemic.
After discovering that “bot accounts” comprised nearly half of the enrollment in her class, she began writing, teaching, and campaigning on the issue in California.
...
When asked about the role that higher education institutions play in such cases, Professor Rich said, “There are several California community colleges that have implemented procedures to greatly reduce the instances of application/enrollment/financial aid fraud.”
Where safeguards are established and enforced, colleges, universities, and governments are capable of preventing billions of dollars of fraud. When removed or made optional, they cost taxpayers millions, she said.

As for educrats "getting a clue", it probably well take several hundreds being held personally responsible - losing jobs and significant $$$. Ans then 5 or 10 a year as refreshers. Educrats are not pulling this @#$% out of ignorance, they are doing it in defiance and out of bigotry. @#$% like this is, sadly, an ongoing staple for the ACLJ, one of the non-profits who represented the Dad.

A Massachusetts father won a huge legal battle as a court granted an injunction against a local school district that sickeningly insisted on exposing his five-year-old son to pro-LGBTQ books. It boggles the mind that people in this country still don’t see liberals attempting to indoctrinate children to accept deviant sexual behavior as normative. How many of these cases do folks need to see before they get a clue?
The case featured Alan L., the father of J.L. in court documentation, against the Lexington Public School District (LPSD) and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School (JEES). Alan is a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ. The school likely knew this fact, understood why the father objected to exposing his son to pro-LGBTQ material, and disregarded it—showing how the so-called “tolerance” of the left applies only to ideas they already hold. In reality, it isn’t tolerance at all.
Alan objected to the content of specific books containing sexual themes and stated that his son faced “classroom instruction that promotes sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family’s faith.” He also insisted that, as the boy’s parent, he should have received notification before his son encountered the sexual content in the books and classroom activities. He’s right on the money. Parents should control what their children are being taught and know exactly what curriculum teachers use in the classroom.
