Dmytro Tabachnyk, Urkaine’s education minister, said last week that the country’s better graduate and post-graduate students “are girls who have a less bright, less attractive and less model-like appearance.” Obviously, female students were a little piqued at this statement and held a protest yesterday holding placards with statements such as “I read that I am ugly!” Ukraine’s own version of Larry Summers was too chicken shit to face these ladies in person and refused to meet with the women. Instead he had his employees go outside with bouquets of flowers to assure the women that they were beautiful. This moron somehow got through graduate school because he has a PhD in history. I think these women were pretty tame all things considered. If this asshole had made that kind of comment at my school you can bet he wouldn’t have made it out of that protest alive! You know we Ivy Leaguers roll deep! RFE/RL.
