Arizona State Suspends Lawrence Krauss Over Sexual Misconduct Accusations

[Alexmahone]

Sam Harris and Matt Dillahunty had to do an event in Phoenix, Arizona 2 weeks ago without Lawrence Krauss due to the allegations.

On stage, Harris said that the speakers made a mutual decision that Krauss would not appear, but stressed that “it should not signify to you that we are taking a position with respect to the truth of those allegations.”

“The decision came down to this: If Lawrence were here, he would want to deny all of those allegations. He would certainly say that that article was filled with lies, and then we would be forced to try to change the subject and have a conversation about physics or whatever else,” Harris said. “That seemed to risk being a farce.”

I must say I was looking forward to hearing these 3 atheist-intellectuals in conversation.
