MIT中国留学生的无理取闹以失败告终
麻省理工学院校长Susan Hockfield的声明
2006年5月4日视觉文化的网页将在最近几天得以恢复。作为我们学校两位优秀教授的工作，该项目体现了麻省理工学院最为精致的传统，即深入而严肃的学术研究，具有开创性的教学，以及服务社会的承诺。植根于这样的传统当中，该项目揭示了复杂的历史和文化议题。
网页将包括原来所有的材料，以及我们根据学校各方深思熟虑的意见而添加的背景和导览说明。令人遗憾的是，在过去一周我们收到来自世界各地的意见当中, 有的对项目作者加以辱骂或威胁；有的则要求将网页永久撤消并且或是要求学校对Dower教授和Miyagawa教授采取惩罚措施。
在此，我们重申将不遗余力地支持两位教授的工作，支持学术自由的原则。虽然这一网页上的一些文本和画面令观者痛苦，但对我们的同事及其工作的无端攻击，则与我们关于大学的根本信念背道而驰。这一根本信念是，大学应该投身于开放的研究以及自由的思想交流。作为学者和教育家，我们有义务以一种尊重不同意见的方式去探索那些复杂而有争议的思想。
值此视觉文化网页即将恢复之际，我们希望大家能够阅读这些文本，观看这些图画，并且思考两位教授提出来的发人深思的问题。两位教授欢迎认真考虑这些问题之后的探讨和学习，而我们大家从中都将受益匪浅。
Susan Hockfield
麻省理工学院校长
Statement from President Susan Hockfield
May 4, 2006
The Visualizing Cultures web site will be relaunched within the next few days. This project -- the work of two outstanding members of our faculty -- is in the finest traditions of MIT: deep and rigorous scholarship, pioneering and innovative pedagogy and a commitment to serve society. Drawing on these traditions, the project illuminates complex historical and cultural issues.
The web site will include all the original materials as well as added context and navigational aids that have been developed in response to thoughtful comments by members of our community. Unfortunately, among the comments received over the past week from all over the world were some that were abusive or threatening to the authors; some called for the web site to be suppressed and/or for the Institute to take action against Professors Dower and Miyagawa.
We affirm in the strongest way possible our support for the work of these professors, and for the principles of academic freedom. While some of the text and images on the web site are painful to see, the attacks on our colleagues and their work are antithetical to all that we stand for as a university dedicated to open inquiry and the free exchange of ideas. As scholars and educators, we have an obligation to explore complex and controversial ideas, and to do so in a manner that respects those with whom we may disagree.
As Visualizing Cultures is relaunched, we hope people will read the text, view the images and consider the important questions the authors raise. They welcome, and we all benefit from, thoughtful discourse and the learning that results from serious intellectual engagement with these matters.
Susan Hockfield
President, MIT

下面是我刚发给MIT校长,及抄送历史系主任,哲学系主任,和那个日本叫兽的Email. 综合了一下大家的意见和朋友的修改,起草的下面的Email, 欢迎大家修改.
大家团结一致,可以起草一封联合的抗议信,大家签名,一定要让那个小日本道歉!
把MIT告上法庭也是一个选择,告MIT种族歧视,什么学术自由,那也有个限度,MIT有种就贴一贴纳粹屠杀犹太人的照片,世贸大厦倒塌的照片,再美化一下看看有什么反应!
很喜欢有一哥们说的,这是在辱没咱们的祖先,是可忍,孰不可忍!!!
当有人在挖你们家祖坟, 你还没点血性,那他妈还叫男人吗!!!
