Charles Murray and the Atlantic magazine

[JohnEngelman]

A prominent and long-standing connection between conservative social scientist Charles Murray and The Atlantic magazine dates back to 1971, when Murray's frequent collaborator, Richard J. Herrnstein, published a controversial article there that foreshadowed later works on meritocracy and intelligence.
More recently, Murray's work has been a focus of commentary in The Atlantic related to his theories on class in America, as well as broader issues of free speech and academic debate.
Notable topics connecting Murray and The Atlantic

• Meritocracy and intelligence: A 1971 article by Herrnstein in The Atlantic discussed the role of intelligence and genetics in social stratification. Murray has frequently cited and collaborated with Herrnstein on these topics, including in their controversial 1994 book, The Bell Curve.
• The American class divide: The Atlantic has featured commentary on Murray's work concerning the widening class divide in the United States. His book Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960–2010 (2012) described the separation of a new upper class from the traditional middle and working classes. The Economist reported in 2016 on a cover story in The Atlantic that touched upon Murray's conservative view of this societal division.
• Free speech controversies: As one of the most prominent conservative academics in America, Murray has been at the center of college campus free speech debates. The Atlantic and its authors have weighed in on these issues, especially concerning the 2017 incident where Murray was de-platformed and shouted down at Middlebury College. The magazine frequently covers the wider debates about political correctness and intellectual diversity on campuses, a topic in which Murray is a central figure.
• Convocation appearances: In 2009, Murray spoke at an event sponsored by The Atlantic where he addressed the issue of merit and test scores. He has continued to be a reference point in discussions within the magazine about meritocracy, education, and social change.

That article must be based on MERIT!

That article must be based on MERIT!

ll74 thinks I am a racist for believing that merit, qualifications and excellence are incompatible with Diversity, Equity, and inclusion.

ll74 never comes up with rational, fact based arguments. All he can do is to jump up and down, wave his arms, and yell "Racist! Racist! Racist!"
