their names are allison stanger, professor of political science at middlebury college, and charles murray, author of several ground-breaking books, including the work "the bell curve," and a scholar at the american enterprise institute. america deserves and needs to hear their story. on saturday, two days after the incident, professor stanger wrote on her facebook page as follows, quote, i agreed to participate in the event with charles murray because several of my students asked me to do so. they're smart and good people, all of them, and this was their big event of the year. i actually welcomed the opportunity to be involved because while my students may know that i'm a democrat, all of my courses are nonpartisan, and this was a chance to demonstrate publicly my commitment to a free and fair exchange of views in my classroom. as the campus uproar about his visit built, i was genuinely surprised and troubled to learn that some of my faculty colleagues have rendered judgment on dr. murray's work and character while openly admitting that they had not read anything that he had written. with
