That the future of America depends on the “cognitive elite”(white?) frightens “conservative” candidate.
U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson (drop him a line) is distancing himself from the views of a controversial political scientist who believes genetics are closely tied to intelligence Johnson helped bring to Oshkosh to speak with business and education leaders.
While serving as chairman of the Partners in Education Council, Johnson played a key role in bringing Charles Murray, a member of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute, to Oshkosh earlier this year.
Murray is best known for his controversial and bestselling book, “The Bell Curve,” which discusses genetic-based intelligence and differences in abilities among ethnic groups. The book also claims IQ is the best indicator of a person’s potential success and provides the basis for class structure.
