The Frank Ellis Affair

The most hotly debated free speech issue in Britain at the moment is the Frank Ellis affair. Ellis is a senior academic at an English university who recently declared publicly his conclusion that on average blacks have lower IQs than whites. His university has suspended him from teaching as a result -- which violates academic freedom as well as free speech generally.

I appreciate that many readers here may not even wish to think about this issue but for those who do I have just put up here two letters that appeared in today's (7th.) "Times Higher Education Supplement" -- which is Britain's prime means of communicating university news and discussion. It is certainly not "Right wing" in any sense.

As well as the letters, you will see that a long-deceased but very famous advocate of liberty has risen from his grave to comment on the matter.
