His irritated reply to the activists—that he would not give preferential exam treatment to students because of their skin color—has prompted UCLA to investigate him for racial discrimination.

That one is my favorite - Investigate someone for racial discrimination because he specifically refused to racially discriminate

This raises the argument I have made before that the free market suppresses free speech.

One activist accused Shor of using his "anxiety and 'intellect' as a vehicle for anti-blackness." Then she tagged Civis Analytics, and invited the company to "come get your boy."

Get him, they did. Civis Analytics promptly fired Shor.

They were wrong to and probably new it but it was damage limitation to protect their bottom line.
