They have a right to do it, but one of the problems with Political Correctness is that is seeps into every aspect of our lives. Even in private conversations people today feel compelled to avoid certain topics.

Harvard had the right to fire Larry Summers, and the lab that employed James Watson had a right to fire him, too.

But these inquisitions are very unhealthy for our society and they chill free speech and freedom of thought.

Don’t you find it a little chilling when people are actually sent to rehab for calling someone a bad name, as happened to an actor on a TV series recently (maybe you can remember which one, I think it was a medical series)?

Extremely disturbing. but the market seems to bear it. The NBA has no competition in the United States.
