The Persecution and Execution of Larry Summers as Performed by the Inmates of Harvard

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard have today voted a motion of no confidence in President Lawrence Summers. His crime: speaking an unpopular truth by suggesting that science should be preferred to PC dogma. I think this will be a permanent black mark on Harvard's reputation. It does seem a shame that the reputations of its many brilliant thinkers and scholars will be tarnished by the actions of a willful majority.

This should serves as an object lesson to, say, Caltech and MIT, on the hazards of loading up your faculty with practitioners of fashionable psuedo-scholarship. It's alread too late for the Ivies.
