“Memo To Charles Murray: Defend THE BELL CURVE—Or Stay Off The College $peaking Circuit!”

March 27, 2017 By Kathy Shaidle

Alexander Hart writes:

And while Murray will not aggressively defend his views on race and IQ, he has been eager to virtue-signal his agreement with Establishment conventional wisdom in other areas. After the Middlebury melee, Murray said “as someone who has written pretty explicitly about my disapproval of Trump”, he “can sympathize” with “this rage on campuses about Donald Trump.” At Columbia Murray called Trump “a despicable man” and condemned the Alt Right as “terrible” and “racist.” (…)

Shockingly, Murray even supported banning Milo Yiannopoulos from campus because “it’s appropriate to say that on a college campus, you must use evidence and logic and be civil. I would say that someone like Milo Yiannopoulos does not meet those stipulations.” Since when have these criteria applied to Leftists?
