| Winter of their discontent |
Harvard University president Lawrence Summers had the timerity to suggest hypotheses science might care to examine. Apparently, that was politically incorrect. Summers has resigned. Belmont Club comments:Never has free speech been under such sustained attack as it is today, whether over cartoons, loopy historical theories or academic questions about differences in gender aptitude. People who think they can express an opinion because they work for a newspaper, are professional historians or the president of the richest and most famous university in the world should think again. And if the great are cowed can the small rest easy? |
