Trumps pick to run Bureau of Labir Statistics, EJ Antoni, argued controversial idea about gender and IQ
Cockburn understands one event last year has made some staff hesitant to publicly endorse Antoni: a presentation delivered by Antoni to Heritage interns last summer was sidetracked when he was asked a question about IQ. Antoni argued that women were clustered around average intelligence, while more men were likely to be hyper-intelligent or below-average intelligence. After some complaints about the presentation, Heritage VP of domestic policy Roger Severino told the interns that this was not Heritage’s formal policy position.
Commenting on Antoni’s presentation last year, Mary Vought, vice president of strategic communications at the Heritage Foundation, said: “The women at Heritage – including several members of senior management – are some of the best and brightest in the country. It may be hard for leftist outlets to understand, but we respect the women at Heritage enough to know that they can have candid conversations about statistics.”
