"Plagiarism" of policy proposals
jeudi 25 septembre 2014 à 14:00Two Republican legislators criticized a Democratic candidate for "plagiarizing" part of the text of a policy proposal. The same two Republicans did not hesitate to copy a nasty ALEC model bill and present it as their own work.
The concept of plagiarism is not applicable to policy proposals and laws. It would be total folly to refrain from advocating a good policy just because someone else has advocated it before.
