Evidently, Plagiarism Is No Big Deal (If You’re a Lefty)

Historian Phil Magness specializes in debunking bad scholarship by “progressives.” Most recently, he wrote about the obvious plagiarism of Princeton historian Kevin Kruse.

Naturally, some of Kruse’s fellow leftists have come to his defense with feeble excuses. In this post, Magness jousts with one in particular, Lora Burnett of Collin College. She has quite an animosity towards Magness, dating back to his attacks on the veracity of Nancy MacLean’s screed Democracy in Chains.

If this were a boxing match, the referee would have to stop the contest.

George Leef is the the director of editorial content at the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal. He is the author of The Awakening of Jennifer Van Arsdale: A Political Fable for Our Time.
