Concerning: [“RBG award ceremony canceled after fallout over honorees,” Nation & World March 20] and [“Scott doubles planned gifts to nonprofits with $640M donation,” Nation & World, March 20]. It has been solely 4 years since Ruth Bader Ginsberg handed away and 5 since she helped set up an award in her identify meant for “girls who exemplify human qualities of empathy and humility.”
Amongst this yr’s recipients had been Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch and Michael Milken — presumably for his or her “empathy and humility”?
If this had been April 1, I’d suspect a prank, however this seems to be no joke. I suggest that if MacKenzie Scott had been awarded the Ruth Bader Ginsberg Girl of Management Award, there could be no want to alter the unique award identify. Her constant and under-the-radar philanthropy exemplifies the human qualities of each empathy and humility. I feel this could be extra what Ruth Bader Ginsberg had in thoughts, and right here’s the clincher: Scott can be a lady.
