I knew that Larry Summers had apologized to the homosexual community for the expulsion of some homosexuals that had been expelled in the early 1920's. He did that over a year ago.Some folks thought that his apology was silly and wrong. Others were elated with it.

Then more recently he made a statement that there was a difference in the manner that men and women processed information. (Or something close to that.) I believe he stated that women were either not as interested or not as adept in the area of mathematics. That was when the fury of the feminists coalesced and took off on a world of its own. It is my understanding that was the precipitating event leading to his stepping down.

I had never even heard a thing about any antisemitic remarks. Can you please document that?

No.

Larry Summers was punished for condemning anti-Semitism-its most visible manifestation being an Islamist/socialist-led divestment campaign taking place on campus during his tenure-not for condoning it.

Harvard students and academics ginned up a movement for Harvard to divest from Israel - and the speakers made the usual number of pro-terrorist, anti_jewish remarks.

Summers flatly refused to divest or countenance this appeal.
