Dozens of Reported Plagiarism Incidents On Coursera's Free Online Courses

An anonymous reader writes "The discussion forums in Coursera's Massive Open Online Courses are full of talk of plagiarism these days. 'Plagiarized essay — so disheartening,' said one post. 'Continued Plagiarism in the Assignments,' says another. Students are cheating even though the courses carry no credit. Plagiarism-detection software may be in the future, the company's leaders say."

That's not a liberal brainwashing, it's just a poor knowledge of older history. They see that Republicans are the ones who are having a spastic attack over a black president and attempting voter suppression tactics and don't realize that the parties swapped roles in the 60's over the Civil Rights Act. So they figure Lincolncouldn't have been Republican and must have been Democrats. Heck if Goldwater would have had problems with 21st century Republican platforms, I doubt Lincoln would have been supportive.
