In his typical way, Walter Williams has given one of the best refutations of the whole mess surrounding the president of Harvard saying that there may be innate differences between men and women that may account for the discrepancy in their math and science scores. In "Anti-intellectualism among the academic elite," he compares this to the disparities that follow race lines in health and athletics; how sickle cell anemia occurs mostly in black people, Tay-Sachs disease mostly in easter European Jews. He goes on to use swimming and running in the Olympics to hammer home his point. Really people, do we need to let politics and ideology get in the way of realizing the truth that people are different and that there is nothing wrong with that, it doesn't take away from their humanity or dignity, we just need to accept it, adjust to it, and move on.
