Attack of the Woke Teen Career Killers

I was a mere 70 pages into Donald McNeil’s brief about his firing from The New York Times when I emailed a dozen of my friends to demand they read it immediately. But they don’t have my perseverance, so here are the highlights. 

Two years after McNeil chaperoned a group of high schoolers on a trip to Peru to learn about rural health care, The Daily Beast published an article detailing the students’ list of denunciations against him, including the career-ending claim that he’d used the “N-word.”

    Ha!

    Somebody called those students in Advanced Racism-Spotting For Caucasian Folks class a bunch of "...sourpuss zealots...".

    That seems harsh.
    I prefer 'nincompoops' doing 'nincompoopery'... although 'goofballs' is appropriate, too.

    At least he didn't disparage Baboon or PETA would have joined the firing squad.

    I have no sympathy for him. If he didn't think he did anything wrong he should have make NYT fire him instead if resigning.
