The author of the memo is basically saying the same thing that got Larry Summers axed as president of Harvard.
Harvard University President Lawrence Summers [was fired] for
mentioning at a January 14 academic conference the entirely reasonable
theory that innate male-female differences might possibly help explain
why so many mathematics, engineering, and hard-science faculties
remain so heavily male.
Isn't the idea with free speech that you allow people to say things that you disagree with?
Or as someone else has already phrased it nicely:
"After all, if freedom of speech means anything, it means a willingness
to stand and let people say things with which we disagree,
and which do weary us considerably."
