The Scapegoat: How One Man's Career Was Ended By MeToo
Authored by Nancy Rommelmann via RealClearInvestigations,
Life on Jan. 9, 2020, was interesting for Joshua Helmer. At 31, he was midway through his second year as CEO of the Erie Art Museum in Pennsylvania.
He had recently secured the loan of a Chuck Close painting from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and an upcoming sale, including a painting by another famous artist, David Hockney, would help Erie generate funds to buy new works.
And then it was Jan. 10.
"I knew I'd never work again," Helmer said, recalling his reading of a New York Times article that ran that day.
"He Left a Museum After Women Complained; His Next Job Was Bigger," was co-bylined by veteran Times reporter Robin Pogrebin and Zachary Small, then a freelancer. The article listed allegations from women against Helmer from his time as assistant director for interpretation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), a position he said he resigned from a ye...

Civil Rights Icon Cesar Chavez's Family, Officials React To Sexual Assault Accusations
Authored by Jill McLaughlin via The Epoch Times,
The family of Cesar Chavez said they were devastated by allegations of sexual abuse that surfaced against the American civil rights icon in a report published March 18, as officials began canceling celebrations and holidays in honor of him.
“This is deeply painful for our family,” the Chavez family told The Epoch Times in an email.
“We wish peace and healing to the survivors and commend their courage to come forward. As a family steeped in the values of equity and justice, we honor the voices of those who feel unheard and who report sexual abuse.”
The New York Times published an investigation stating that the labor leader, especially of farmworkers and Latino immigrant workers, allegedly sexually abused and groomed minors as young as 13 who worked in the labor movement.

Zelensky Confirms 200 Ukrainian Drone Operatives Are In Mideast Assisting Against Iran
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday offered rare confirmation that his government has sent 200 Ukrainian air defense experts to the Middle East, where they are helping allies to counteract Iranian drone attacks, and on the cheap. Zelensky, who has publicly backed President Trump's decision to attack Iran, explained in statements before British parliament on Tuesday that Ukraine's mastery of low-cost and efficient interceptor drones has revolutionized modern warfare.
He offered as an example that it has cost the Untied States about $4 million per interceptor to shoot down a merely $50,000 Iranian Shahed drone, making Ukraine's methods a far cheaper and attractive alternative.

Days before Zelensky's comments, The New York Times highlighted that phones of Ukrainian defense firms have been "ringing off the hook":
For most of its four-year-long war with Russ...
