Sounds like the Ku Klux Klan to me.

I would wager none of them and nobody here has read anything by Murray.

I know I haven't.
Agreed, sounds like either the KKK or the SS.

& I haven't read them either.

there's another bet you'd lose.

"When asked by students and other faculty members whether they had ever read Charles Murray's work, the organizers bristled at the notion that they should be asked to read a work before condemning it," a source close to the meetings told TWS. "'You mean you want me to read The Bell Curve?'"

Oh wait, that kind of resume screams "Trump advisor".
Do you dispute IQ differences among relatively isolated genetic groups?

What's your research evidence, aside from poorly supported rationalization?

What's your observational evidence?

"Superior" is your word and a straw man. You are substituting objective differences in research results for a word that implies some type of wholesale supremacy. It's dishonest rhetoric.

I can understand if such group IQ differences make people insecure, but that doesn't make the conclusion incorrect.

Nazis are free to speak and spread their hatred but should not be allowed to do so on a college campus. If it's a private school then that's a different situation than a public school. That should be arranged by the student body and school administrators if that's what they want to hear.

I don't know if this is a private school or not but if the speaker was booked to speak I think he should be allowed to. Why he was booked is another question.
It's a private school.

Is there "real fault" with allowing people with communist social ideas to speak? Communism was responsible for around 100 million deaths in the 20th century, thus far outpacing deaths from any type of militarized racist ideology.

How are Marxist social ideas, then, not "hatred" given the continued foundational metric of how many deaths (the ultimate metric of hatred) any one ideology has caused?

In fact, applying this ultimate standard to the two opposing political forces, Charles Murray seems like a moral savior compared to anything that neo-Marxists would spew.

He isn't right wing. He is a progressive statistics and data analyst. That is truthful in his findings.

This constant behavior, anti- President Trump B.S. is beyond horrific imo. These people need to be arrested....

It's well beyond what they like to hide behind..."free speech" it's actually criminal assaults in some cases.

Wasn't the female professor taken to the hospital for being attacked while trying to get the speaker safely to a car.

I've watched the recent you tubes of March 4th marches....Berkley was the worst that I watched. Trump supporters were being spit on, wood sticks and bottles thrown on them by the Anti -Trump supporters.

People attacked for simply standing there quietly holding their signs. Flags and signs grabbed and burned...Cops just stood there and did nothing. I know many anti-Trump people wouldn't condone this, but not one Democratic leader has tried to stop the violence....It is getting worse with each march.
