Might I ask...how does this current comment square with your having called for him to be fired, and claiming he was not fit to serve as president of Harvard?

<< I don't think neither CB nor I are uncomfortable with Dr. Summers question about innate abilities. >>

From one of your prior posts:

<< Similarly, Dr. Summers does not have the right and especially as head of the most presitigious academic intitution in the world, to make the the stupid suggestion he made.

Of course Dr Summers is not going to be prosecuted for his remarks. But his remarks cause more pain and more harm than anyone shouting "fire" into a crowded room could ever have.

Does Dr. Summers have the right to free speech, Of course he does. But if he says stupid things, does Harvard have to keep him on as President of the University?

Of course not.

Dr. Lawrence Summers has to go as President of Harvard University.>>
