Goodbye to free speech and fair debate
Last week at Middlebury College, liberal students shouted political scientist Charles Murray off the stage at an event to which he had been invited to speak. They did so because Mr. Murray co-authored the I.Q. research-based book, “The Bell Curve,” which leftists claim was racist.
The students then attacked and injured Middlebury liberal professor Allison Stanger as she tried to help Mr. Murray to his car, which was then rocked and pummeled by the students.
As at the University of California, Berkeley and other such campuses, liberals are readily using violence to stifle free speech and enforce political correctness; and, without doubt, this letter will surely evoke a barrage of counter-letters and emails from liberals attacking me personally, rather than addressing issues.
Goodbye to free speech and open-minded debate. Such is the state of progressiveness and liberalism in our nation.
Obie R. Silverwood, Sanger
