The Left’s War On Science

Picture
John Tierney at City Journal recently published a piece on the problems associated with a lack of viewpoint diversity in our universities and how this affects science.  Yes, this issue extends beyond the concerns of a lowely criminologist and is now taken seriously by a range of scholars.

Tierney's writing is crisp and he does a good job in debunking some of the more exagerated claims made by liberal scholars.  Indeed, he presents a relatively reasoned argument that the left's institutional dominance has resulted in entire fields becoming politicized.  We know about the usual culprits, such as Women's Studies, ________ Studies, and sociology.  But did you know that environmenal health has also been affected, as have other disciplines associated with the health sciences?

Political advocacy is a cancer to science.
