Prof. Musa Al-Gharbi's "Jason Arday and Me"
Musa Al-Gharbi's "Jason Arday and Me" Eugene Volokh | 8.21.2026 11:46 AM A very interesting piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Here are two brief excerpts, but they can't do justice to the whole piece, which covers much more ground: {[W]hen a mainstream journalist [investigated Arday], he was threatened with lawsuits, visited by the police, and subsequently instructed by his editors to bury the story—and he sheepishly complied. Arday was exposed by a "race realist" Substack writer because reporters wouldn't cover the story until after it had already become common knowledge.
