Professor apologizes for his part in bringing about the 'very real pain' caused by Charles Murray visit

It’s been well over a month since Charles Murray, the political scientist, author, and Southern Poverty Law Center “extremist file”  subject, attempted to speak at Middlebury College and instead was “physically and violently confronted by a group of protestors.”

There was real pain felt at the event: as Murray and a Middlebury professor tried to leave campus, demonstrators pulled the professor’s hair and twisted her neck, sending her to the hospital.

That’s not the sort of pain that another Middlebury assistant professor was talking about when he posted an apology online last week.

Bertram Johnson, associate professor of political science and chair of the department, claimed it was a mistake to have offered “a symbolic departmental co-sponsorship” to the Charles Murray event.

“… to my deep regret, it contributed to a feeling of voicelessness that many already experience on this campus, and it contributed to the very real pain that many people – particularly people of color – have felt as a result of this event,” he wrote.

Wow … the embarrassing and damning YouTube videos posted showing the mob inside the venue make it pretty clear they were anything but voiceless. And if people felt pain because Murray was invited to the campus, at least they sent someone to the hospital in return, right?

Even the fact that he posted his mea culpa nearly seven weeks after the event seems pretty spineless; still, as he mentions in his apology, Middlebury is still debating “what to do next,” so there’s no rush.
