For such an esteemed school, Harvard is just dumb.

A little over a year ago, Harvard University President Lawrence Summers spoke at an economics conference. He was asked to speak as a top economist and not as a representative of Harvard. He was asked to be provocative. During his speech, Mr. Summers commented that there could be innate differences between men and women that are partially responsible for the disparity between the sexes in the field of science. He said that this was something that need to be studied. He also questioned how much of a role discrimination played in keeping female students from advancing in science and engineering at elite universities.

These remarks prompted a huge uproar at Harvard. This prompted a 'no confidence' vote from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard last March which they were preparing to vote on again next month. Summers was bullied into taking sensitivity training and making apologies for his remarks. Now, after a year of this crap, he has submitted his resignation. I don't blame him.

The idea that a group of scientists could possibly get so offended by the suggestion that men and women are different astounds me. Mr. Summers did not say that women were inferior to men, he just suggested that there may be natural differences in men and women that cause them to excel in different areas from each other. This isn't offensive, it's a legitimate possibility. I just can't fathom how people teaching science at a school as highly thought of as Harvard could act as though this is an impossibility. Politically correct science. That's what people are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn at Harvard.

News flash, morons: Men and women ARE different. Deal with it.

I'm going to go watch The Shield and yell at Forrest Whittaker.
