#MagazineUSRollingStoneEJDickson[Muckrack] "In 2021, there's a simple formula for becoming a cancel culture martyr, and it's essentially as follows: One, make a tone-deaf remark or faux pas betraying your ignorance of your own privilege; two, lose your job or be publicly reprimanded over said offense; three, get a centrist or right-leaning columnist or public figure with a large platform to take up your cause, persuading their audience to rally behind you as an unwitting sacrifice on the altar of hyper-wokeness. ...
In a resignation letter to Smith College President Kathleen McCartney, which was published by writer Bari Weiss on her Substack newsletter, Shaw, who is white, rails against what she views as Smith's 'dehumanizing' climate with respect to race relations, citing mandatory diversity trainings and the encouragement of diverse hiring practices as 'evidence' of such a climate. The first instance she cites is an incident in which a black college student accused a security officer of racial bias after the officer questioned her for eating her lunch in a residential hall, calling her 'out of place.' Although Shaw was not even tangentially involved in this incident, she apparently found it traumatic enough that she cites it in her letter as an example of college initiatives to '[dismantle] the supposed [italics ours] racism that pervades the campus,' which 'only served to support the now prevailing narrative that the incident had been racially motivated and that Smith staff are racist.'
The rest of the letter, as published on Weiss' Substack, regurgitates basic anti-cancel culture talking points; in short, it reads like a Facebook post written by your uncle who voted for Obama, then started watching way too much Bill Maher. Shaw paints a portrait of Smith as a Marxist gulag in which free thought is punished (in her case, that free thought being not wanting to complete mandatory diversity trainings), and those who divert from the standard narrative are brutally castigated. ...
At first blush, Shaw doesn't seem ill-intentioned so much as an out-of-touch white person struggling to navigate current liberal orthodoxies, which may warrant some degree of sympathy, if not mild amusement (if only for the rap part). But a rebuttal statement from Smith College President Kathleen McCartney indicates that she is actively trying to financially profit from the free speech martyr narrative she is currently peddling. In her letter, Shaw says she turned down a large settlement from the college in exchange for her silence, but McCartney disputes that, writing, 'it was the employee herself who demanded payment of an exceptionally large sum in exchange for dropping a threatened legal claim and agreeing to standard confidentiality provisions.'
Fortunately for Shaw, she appears to have gotten her money's worth: A fundraiser to help her with living expenses has raised more than [USD] $214,000, proving that one of the quickest routes to success in the age of social media is to publicly and dramatically claim you've been canceled." https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/jodi-shaw-smith-college-bari-weiss-rapping-librarian-1132010/
