George Washington University professor Jessica Krug admitted to falsely claiming a Black identity for years while she is actually white and Jewish. The university has announced that Krug will not be teaching this semester and is offering counseling services to students "hurting" from the revelation. This case follows a pattern of "racial Dolezal" incidents where academics fabricate their backgrounds to advance in diversity-focused fields.

Dalhousie University in Canada has restricted applicants for a senior management position to only "racially visible and Indigenous" candidates. The move has sparked a debate over reverse discrimination and the sociological concept of "racialization." The term refers to the process of ascribing ethnic identities to groups, a concept central to modern critical race studies in academia.

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin faced criticism for his commentary during Justice Antonin Scalia's funeral, where he remarked on the "overwhelmingly white male" composition of Scalia's former law clerks. The hosts argue that such comments are inappropriate for a funeral and reflect a persistent media bias. The segment highlights the lack of pushback against Toobin's observations, which some viewed as an attempt to frame the deceased Justice as a racist.
