Matory

I challenge Matory and his hard left political cronies to show a history of supporting the free speech rights of those they disagree with.

Matory submitted a motion stating that "this faculty commits itself to fostering civil dialogue in which people with a broad range of perspectives feel safe and are encouraged to express their reasoned and evidence-based ideas."

The reason the language, written by anthropologist Randy Matory, was deleted was because Summers 'less ideological opponents believed that it would lose the day for them; in other words, that Matory's views were not representative of the faculty, but of Matory.

Matory need not "tremble in fear" of anything except his pernicious opinions being rebutted in the marketplace of ideas.

Nor do I remember (because it didn't happen) Professor Matory complaining when Israel's former Prime Minister Ehud Barak was prevented from speaking at Concordia University by a hard-left anti-Israel crowd of violent censors.

Indeed when I confronted Matory after his television show and offered $1000 to his favorite charity if he could prove that Summers had ever said that people who insisted that Palestinians have rights should be quiet, he began shouting at me that I was a terrible professor and suggesting that I was not qualified to teach at Harvard.

Let's hope that no American university becomes what Matory and his ilk want Harvard to become.

If you're against Israel -- as Matory, Foner, and their ilk are -- then they want you to have complete freedom to speak against the Jewish state (as they certainly should and do).
