Great article! Another area where political ideologies can stifle scientists and minority opinions is in the accreditation process that schools have to go through. “As coffee and Covid might say, “that’s a nice school reputation you have. It’d be a pity if anything damaged that.”
Good Point! I remember when the Institute for Creation Research moved from California to Texas because the biased education czars used accreditation as a weapon against them.
On Oct. 25th, Jeff Childers' C&C wrote about Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy's failure to publish a report on a subsidized study of the mental health of trans-gender kids because it didn't give the results she wanted:
"What does this self-censorship say about our credentialed class? What does it say about the whole academic publication racket that withholding politically inconvenient results is considered business as usual? How many scientific studies are never published because of politics?
Why do scientists pretend like the academic journals are some kind of sanctified source of unbiased science?"
Right after publishing this post, I came across another example in the news:
"A prominent doctor (Johanna Olson-Kennedy) and trans rights advocate admitted she deliberately withheld publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the effect of puberty blockers on American children — after finding no evidence that they improve patients’ mental health."
