Hari Ziyad is pissed. He thought something about tenured GW history professor Jessica Krug was off, but he didn’t know she’d been pretending to be black/inner city all this time – in order to pursue a successful career in African American history – until she called him this morning and told him. She’s really a white Jewish girl from suburban Kansas! Hari’s black; his black friends suspected she was full of shit; he defended her black authenticity to them; he’s embarrassed now. And really really pissed.

What can UD say about yet another political identity fraudster? Didn’t she cover one of these only a few days ago?
Well, first thing to say about this one: Good timing, babe. You faked it til you made tenure, so it’s gonna be real hard for UD’s GW to shake you off. Its new, inept president (his first order of business was trying to send lucky highly selected professors to Disneyland for reeducation) recently made some insanely stupid remarks about race; now one of its professors has written a logorrheic lie-fest about how she’s a big ol’ race fraud cuz of… uh… early childhood trauma …
I’m not gonna quote from what she wrote (there’s a link to it up there) for the same reason Joe Biden would rather pull his fingernails out by their roots than debate The Genius of the Carpathians. It’s dirtying. Shower afterward a must. But Biden ain’t got no choice. UD read it, okay? But she ain’t goin’ back there.

So what will GW do? Apparently the school will be issuing a statement soon.
UD predicts it’ll go something like this:
Professor Jessica Krug, of GW’s history department, has informed the school that she will be taking a leave without pay to address the personal issues that contributed to her deceptive self-presentation as African American. GW regrets these circumstances, and wishes Professor Krug well.

When she returns from her leave, perhaps the university could create a center for Fraud Studies? Sounds like something any aspiring Ph.D. would want a certificate in?

Michael: It’s hard to pull off a successful, long-term fraud, and Krug accomplished it. She should be on the new FS permanent faculty.

Wow, that’s a real……interesting headshot Jessica used for her bio page. So much for the department secretary taking your “at your desk, looking at your computer ” photo…
