A Witch Hunt Comes to Cambridge

Dan Klein wrote an excellent piece about Cambridge fellow Noah Carl's sacking because left-wing extremists disapprove of his work on IQ.  I wrote the following letter to President Trump:

Dear Mr. President:

I urge you to amend your executive order requiring First Amendment compliance by public colleges  to prohibit funding to American universities that do business with foreign universities that violate the First Amendment.

Professor Noah Carl was a fellow at St. Edmund's Cambridge.  He was recently fired for pursuing objective scientific research about IQ.  There was a demonstration at Cambridge at which 1,400 left-wing students and professors--out of about 30,000 Cambridge students and professors--demanded his firing. Cambridge caved to the extremists' demand and revoked Carl's appointment.  A recent article about his sacking is  at https://www.jamesgmartin.center/2019/06/a-witch-hunt-comes-for-the-nonconformist/

American universities can subvert your First Amendment executive order by collaborating with intolerant, left-wing universities in foreign countries.  Eliminating federal funding of  universities that do business with foreign universities that violate the First Amendment will ensure that public monies are not used for extremist causes.

Sincerely,

Mitchell Langbert
