"A Dec. 13 Twitter thread by Sarah Parcak, a professor of archaeology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a fellow at the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation:
'I know everyone is angry about what Joseph Epstein wrote about Dr Biden yesterday in the @WSJ However the real aim for our ire should be @jamestaranto the editor of their op-ed page.
He has, so far, completely escaped accountability.
That ends now.
James, explain yourself.
When 3k+ Americans die daily from covid, millions suffer w food insecurity +eviction, major sedition happening, racism, climate change...you give space to an angry old white misogynist to yell at our future 1st lady re her Ed.D?
“Well it started a national conversation” you might argue.
Yes, the conversation goes “F— the WSJ, F—Joseph Epstein, and F— their trash op-ed pages.”
I hope you consider pulling the piece, apologizing, and committing to making the WSJ op ed page something people want to read. Oh, also: go f— yourself.'
A Dec. 14 tweet by Prof. Parcak:
'Living Human Garbage Monster™ Paul Gigot, WSJ head opinion editor *doubled down* on the Dr Jill Biden opinion piece, saying “She is open to criticism”. Hey @WSJ writers, are you cool with blatant sexism and misogyny and slander against women?'"
