.@StanfordDaily asked for a comment, and here is what I said re: this official response from @Stanford to @ScottWAtlas /1

“What Atlas wrote was unequivocally wrong, and yet Stanford's official statement was insipid and spineless. Gmail's AI auto-responder could have done better job.” /2
“So many of us love Stanford--truly love this place--and what we're yearning for is leadership. True, heartfelt, blood-temperature leadership.” /3
“I cannot imagine the stress that our leaders are facing right now. Their lives must be endless stress. But what we are waiting for is leadership we can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with...” /4.
“...to confront the forces of bigotry, anti-democracy, anti-science, inequality, environmental degradation, and hypocrisy. If the Stanford administration doesn't stand up and condemn this--this absolute, obvious, clear-cut wrong--when will they stand up for us?” /5
