A New York Times column exploring why 'Jews are smart' is prompting heavy criticism and canceled subscriptions

It's certainly not the first time a Stephens column has provoked the same backlash, nor is it the first time his work hasto cancel their subscriptions. But for prominent figures, this column left more of an impact.

US Senator Brian Schatz from Hawaii wrote that this column "crossed a very important line and for no reason other than to be provocative," compared to Stephens' other controversial work. "Bret Stephens latest piece is not like the other ones. I mean it is bad, like the other ones," Schatz wrote. "Well, consider me provoked."

David Klion, the news editor of Jewish Currents, which publishes from a left-leaning Jewish perspective, wrote that the explanation for "Jews are better-educated than the typical American" doesn't need to depend on race science, and has "straightforward sociological explanations."
