Williams College president doubles down on banning opinions he doesn’t like from campus

The president of Williams College isn’t very good at debating.

It explains his half-assed reply to the head of the National Association of Scholars, who questioned Adam Falk’s decision to unilaterally cancel a student event last month because he didn’t like the speaker the group invited.

That speaker was John Derbyshire, the paleoconservative writer whose views got him canned at National Review but has continued arguing that white people are historically good at governing and it’s wise to avoid groups of black people. (The head of the group that invited him is black and wanted to challenge Derbyshire to his face.)

So was it “hate speech” that must not be allowed on campus, as President Falk claimed?

NAS President Peter Wood wrote in The Chronicle of Higher Education that he asked Falk to explain how he found the “line” that is so dangerous to cross he felt justified in preventing students from hearing certain ideas:

I carry no brief for John Derbyshire’s views on race, notably that white people have much to fear from black people and should therefore avoid them. It’s a view that Williams College students have surely heard about or perhaps seen depicted in books or movies. But few at Williams have had the opportunity to hear directly from an intelligent and articulate proponent of “scientific” racism. All things considered, encountering the real thing in the controlled setting of a college lecture hall could be a very good thing.
