I believe it is a fake also but this really doesn’t prove anything. A student could have seen the piece minutes after it was published and copied and pasted it, which would not be a causal connection in the correct direction.
IMO the op-ed was written by Sarah Jeong, and until other evidence emerges I’m sticking with it.
I agree, that’s what I’ve been saying, a work of fiction by the staff of the NYT.
I'd say that's a better guess than most. It could also be a combination of 10-20 people condensed into one op-ed. In other words a pure fabrication that didn't come from anyone in the WH.
