What scientists are able to teach and what research they can pursue at universities are under attack. The speech by Luana Maroja is well worth reading. The alarm bells she is sounding are disturbing.
We each have our own woke tipping point - the moment you realize that social justice is no longer what we thought it was, but has instead morphed into an ugly authoritarianism.
The tactics are right out of Maoist China. "Language purity." demanding white professors "confess to their privilege," saying words like "guys" is a "microaggression." Saying what science can be studied and what facts can be shared. It would be ridiculous if the effects weren't so scary. We're at the point where a college degree may be worthless to employers because the students are so brainwashed.
Jordan Peterson tried to warn us years ago. He was right. And we are mostly just staying quiet and letting it happen.
