PLAY STUPID GAMES, WIN STUPID PRIZES.

A Williams professor who wrote "This idea of intellectual debate and rigor as the pinnacle of intellectualism comes from a world in which white men dominated" gets fitting recognition.

Trofim Lysenko would be pleased, although he likely would have formulaically dismissed the need for academic rigor and debate as being the product of fascist-bourgeois-imperialist-capitalist culture, instead of the current wokeism of “straight white men” as the source of the world’s problems.

So congratulations, Williams College Professor Phoebe Cohen, you are the first recipient of the Minding the Campus Lysenko Award for the Suppression of Academic Speech.

Williams personnel have not yet acknowledged the honor.
