Science and math will always be safe from the ideologues. That’s what some people thought. They were fools. Look:
March for Science

This Wednesday, June 10th we will join the call to #ShutDownSTEM! We urge all scientists and STEM workers to stop business as usual for a day to focus on actionable plans that work towards ending anti-Black racism.#Strike4BlackLives #BlackLivesMatter #ShutDownAcademia

There is pro-black affirmative action racism, and anti-white racism all over the place.
Show me some actual anti-black racism. I don't see any.

Anyone who reads science journals know that scientists are all leftists because most of their money comes as grants from governments vis their university departments..
Somehow, and someone please explain this to me, science has become a democrat endeavor with a political agenda.
Until recently every article had a global warming hook. Now it's China coronavirus which they obfuscate with the name Covid-19.
Scientists who spend their life in academia necessarily spend it in the socialist Frankfurt School bubble. And they are mostly dumb and are not independent thinkers.
Probably a lot of them knelt down to Antifa and really believed in their culpable privilege.
Like I said, dopes, and dupes.

Jesuslover54, please read the article and don't just react to the headline. There are many scientists who are afraid of what is happening in academia and the demands that are made that are anti-science. Check out shutdownstem.com or the change.org petition that is referenced in the article. These are truly frightening and no, not everyone in academia agrees that this is a good thing - but they acknowledge they must be silent or have their career destroyed by woke administrators.

Who will our Chinese overlords steal patented ideas from if we do this?

Wokeness is what you see when you open your eyes and it's really dark...you strike a match and everything is on fire...Methane has a way of doing that!

This is true, Boni (poster #3) -- this is immense political pressure. I work at a major university, partially closed down because of COVID-19, but I'm in the office today, we're open. Academia is definitely part of the problem, and much like Republicans in Hollywood, normals and conservatives keep their heads down in academia .... geez, I can't believe I just compared academia to Hollywood!!!!!!

There is a devil behind this movement and it has nothing to do with justice, equality, nor right. The only thing any sane people can do is to band together and fight it no matter the cost, because the alternative is intolerable! Yield and become slaves or fight to be free!

We have learned so much feom the experts in Global warming/climate change. Science is no better than alchemy now. It is no longer turning lead to gold, its turning panic to gold.

No one else is writing about this, which is why this writer, and this article, is so important. Dreher provides a window into what is happening to the scientific community and academia. This is very dangerous and did not happen overnight. It happened, as Hemingway noted about going broke, gradually, then suddenly.
