I wonder if it ever occurred to these virtue-signaling academics, that if someone feels they might be 'harmed' by a lecture, the solution is not to attend, and to find something else to do instead of knashing one's teeth and wailing like a banshee?

DEI is just a new name for affirmative action, which has been around for around 60 years. When does it end?

The intolerance and the lack of self-awareness of the left is breathtaking. They’re all for diversity when it comes to outward appearance... but diversity of thought, they won’t allow it! At a university!!

When political warfare spreads to every aspect of life, every opinion a person has on every subject under the sun, and only *one* opinion is allowed, this is what you call totalitarianism.

Except no one feels that way.

opposing affirmative action programs and other initiatives to promote diversity, equity and inclusion at colleges and universities....

Good for him. These programs are cancer and destructive.

It is not enough for the SJW to avoid people and places s/he finds offensive. No, everyone else must be prevented from hearing the wrongthink too!

This man is a geophysicist. Were I to attend one of his lectures, I would be going to hear him speak on geophysics, not his political views, woke or otherwise.

It ought to.

Some of the most straitjacketed people I have run across are scientists.

I mean, after my whackjob SIL of course.

Dorian Abbot was on Tucker last night.

MIT President Reif sent an email to members of the MIT community. They did not feel Professor Abbot was a good speaker for a public outreach event. They have invited him to speak on campus. They regret that members of the community have suffered online targeting and hate email.

Coincidentally, MIT extended an invitation to a fundraising event. I would follow the science, but the science has left MIT.

Jonathan Gruber, I would note, is still a professor at MIT.

And MIT donor Jeffrey Epstein is still a homicide victim.
