Kemi Badenoch’s speech about reporting a classmate — which led to the classmate’s expulsion — sparked debate and backlash. However, one comment went far beyond criticism, stating, “They should dig deep into her past or the past of her family and bring out a negative story in order to tarnish her image.” This kind of remark promotes targeted harassment and character assassination rather than constructive discussion. Disagreeing with her actions or views is fair, but calling for a smear campaign is unethical and dangerous.
