The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they’re society’s conscience while proving they’ll side with cash over principle every single time.
For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn’t blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it’s on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.
