The authors of a 2019 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that examined “917 fatal police shootings of civilians from 2015 to test whether the race of the officer or the civilian predicted fatal police shootings” was withdrawn by the authors after being cited by noted conservative author and essayist Heather MacDonald.
Psychologists Joseph Cesario of Michigan State and David Johnson of the University of Maryland say they stand behind their work, which concludes there was “no significant evidence of anti-black disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by the police.” But they objected to its “misuse.” MacDonald cited the study in congressoinal testimony last September and again in an article for City Journal. But it wasn’t until her June 3 op-ed for the Wall Street Journal that cited the study when there were “complications” on campus and outraged wokesters demanded that the profs be flogged — or something.

This has nothing to do with facts. It’s all about communism being shoved down our throats.
Everyone would really save a lot of time and money if the universities all closed.
The editors of Wikipedia could write every article that could be published by anyone everywhere to make sure the Party Line was obeyed to the most minute detail.
The advantage of this is that Wikipedia could be edited minute to minute to reflect the latest thinking of the glorious Party—and no academic need be confused by their previous errors.
Why would we want to risk human life by having independent thought?
The mob is so dangerous—and we would not want to upset them.
:-(
Misused? Allowing the public to know stuff that's NOT PC?
OMG - can't have that... /s
The issue is never the issue. The issue is the Revolution
“...Wikipedia could be edited minute to minute to reflect the latest thinking of the glorious Party”
Straight out of 1984.
Once Trump wins in November he should let the dogs loose.
He’s ordered the national guard to protect statues and that was a good thing.
After he gets re-elected black lives matter and antifa and la Raza and any other traitors to the country need to be destroyed and burned to the ground
That includes Muslim groups that are fronts for terrorists
As for the culture war I don’t know how you change 16 years of conditioning through the public schools.
and everybody got a gun. Even if you live in liberal cities that ban them. **** them. Be judged by 12 instead of carried by 6
The truth was out there.
But not anymore.
Admission of grant fraud?
They decide “the truth”; no wonder nobody believes them.
Heather MacDonald is the last person on earth to “misuse” anything.
She’s been arouund too long and done too much work to do that.
bkmk
“misuse” means spreading the truth to the masses...
If the public is presented with facts, they might form opinions and take actions based upon them. Can't have that.
Yes
Sounds like Winston Smith finally learning to accept and love Big Brother
Facts and statistics don’t matter. Only the party mess6.straight out of the National Socialists playbook. If any of those guys were still alive they would feel right at home with today’s cancel culture leftists.
Of course it was. We are heading into total racial Marxism and whites seem defenseless or willing to stop it.
Cherry picking I see...
