This week, we turn to an example of yet more mixed success in which radical Locofocoism was both implemented and watered down at...2018-05-2922 min
TownhallReview CommentaryGreg Thornbury: Erosion Of Free Speech on CampusWhen social scientist Charles Murray spoke recently at Middlebury College, a crowd of unruly and angry students roared in protest until he was forced to flee the stage. They were protesting a more than 20 year old book called the “Bell Curve” which included statistics on IQ and racial and ethnic groups.
Murray has thus been labeled a White Nationalist by progressivists, a characterization that in no way fits one of today’s leading sociologists.
Murray retreated to an offstage room with a college professor Allison Stanger for a video chat, Middlebury student agitators started pounding on the walls.
Next, when they t...2017-03-1001 min
