| The first hints that Summers might have to resign under faculty pressure came in January 2005 when opposition to him crystallized around remarks he made at an economics conference in Cambridge. He implied that women obtained fewer high-level positions in the sciences and engineering because of a possible lack of "intrinsic aptitude." |

One instance. |
How is this related to the university becoming less Christian? Since when does the bible teach equality of the sexes? |

Also, while I like Dawkins, I don't really follow the whole calling a kid a moslem, christian or jew as child abuse argument. Children generally have the same viewpoints as their parents on most things. I remember thinking that the first Gulf war was bad and that Dan Quayle was an idiot when I was 8 years old. Granted, I still believe those two things, but at the time, there wasn't a lot of reasoning behind it, just what my mother had told me.
Also, in some cases, religion and race use the same name. I for one, consider myself a jew because my family is jewish, has jewish customs and have jewish physical traits. I have no faith in judaism, but I consider myself a jew.
The only real abuse I see in bringing up a kid in your faith are in two other areas. One is the idea of telling your little kids that they are sinners and that they are likely to be tortured for the rest of eternity. The other comes from random fundamentalist or cult practices like letting David Koresh have his way with kids or not taking them to a doctor when they're in serious need of medicine. |
Agreed. |
