I do not know if anything has been posted about the events involving Walter Block at Loyola College in Baltimore.  Hopefully not, because in reading Divisionoflabour.com today I found an extremely infuriating article about what has happened regarding him.  Please read the article and comment your take on it.

Make sure you read DiLorenzo's recent LRC articles as well.  Both Tom and Walter were on WBAL in Baltimore yesterday for what seemed like an hour.  I listened to the show, but did not record it.

Unsurprising yet infuriating this whole situation is.

What a disgusting individual Block is. Not only did he have the bad taste to be born white he then continues to make false claims about differences between individuals.

Haha....how dare he claim that I am not the same as someone else.  That soooo doesnt fit into collectivism.

Intellectual dishonesty is pretty pathetic. If those economists actually signed the statement written by the school, then they should accept the debate.

 

Put up or shut up

to debate it would give it legitimacy, then the academecians would be victims of their own political correctness.

Or they could just not debate it, let the detractors of the lecture at Loyola in MD have their subborn say like what happens all the time when faulty ideas try to pass themselves off as valid.   When their logic runs out or they have no argument left to stand on defending their premise, they resort to spitting and throwing things, or in this case, making up statements and lying about who signed it to try to show evidence to the campus and country that these evil ideas just wont be tolerated.   Have the debate, stick it to them.   I will hold them down for Block if he wants!
