I’m embarrassed at their behavior. But I understand why : The Bell Curve has been used by the people who are on the very far right for years now to justify their beliefs about white superiority and some of their strange eugenics ideas, often tying it into pro-Nazi Germany sentiments and pushes for a race war in the USA and in other nations in their coordinating with their respective nationalist groups.
*How* that author got booked at such a liberal college is baffling to me because knowing who he is, booking him there was certain to cause problems.
[he’s a hero to white nationalists to put it in short, who have been gaining ground in liberal colleges under the guise of “whites are oppressed too but meanwhile wearing nazi symbols-as-freedom-of-speech tests]
So he shouldn’t have been booked there in the first place.
That said, their response still isn’t justified. But that’s where it comes from.
