Science?
The misunderstanding is strong there.
Who is approving this crap?
” Carrigan’s research focuses on how to “transform the powers of technology to advance social justice.”
Scary in a fascist kind of way.
“social justice.”
Pull the grant.
Next.

Stupidity reigns. Women who are interested in STEM will pursue it. Those who are not interested will pursue other things. Why must we PAY to interest the uninterested?
“Who is approving this crap?”
...and why the HELL can’t somebody put a stop to it? They are spending OUR money to pay the enemy to teach the next generation destroy us. Very little makes me as angry as our tax dollars paying for this crap.
The education-industrial complex bubble is huge. It supports a huge, ideological, parasitical leftist political base, all on the backs of Federal Government spending, and above all, sky-high tuitions and massive student debt.
It is crying out for reform.
The American taxpayers are paying half a million dollars to underwrite their own demise.
“The National Science Foundation awarded a half a million dollars to an “intersectional feminisms” professor to study how to recruit more women into STEM fields.”
Either Elizabeth Harrington or the NSF needs to get with the program.
Our racist, sexist overlords have added “A” for “Arts” to STEM.
‘Intersectional Feminisms’ is the mother of all nothing burgers, sucking both IQ points from this so-called “professor”.
It’s long past time for us to institute “Brain Shaming” for this collection of people for whom even fifth grade level classes are an un-winnable challenge.
“transform the powers of technology to advance social justice.”
AKA how to track and exterminate politically conservative internet users.
Its easy...stop wasting young children time teaching them useless nonsense and teach real science.
Where is my 500k?
Eliminate all non-STEM majors. That would increase the number of females in STEM courses. That’s the answer. You can send me the $500k.
National Science Foundation: "Where Discoveries Begin"
The Bible calls these kind of women “contentious”
Woman was created to be a “helper” . . . of course women pursuing that kind of ideology thinks the Bible and Christianity is nonsense anyway
“transform the powers of technology to advance social justice.”
Teaching a dufus SJW how to turn on the lights?
NSF is as much a cesspool as the NE for the Arts. Defund now and use the money for the wall.
> Who is approving this crap? <
Great question. This type of spending shouldn’t be allowed even in a nation that is running a surplus. But the USA is a debtor nation. That makes it even worse.
Trump has been in office for almost two years now. I understand the difficulties when dealing with the Deep State. But sooner or later Trump is going to have to own this. It might not be fair, but the buck really does stop in the Oval Office.
The NSF "Merit Review" page has a "CONTACT US" section at the bottom that reads...
If you have additional questions regarding the NSF Merit Review Process or proposal submission and preparation, please contact us:So I called the phone number to complain. I got a voicemail recording: "You've reached the Policy Office of the NSF. In order to better serve you, send your questions to policy@nsf.gov." Then you can leave a recorded message. You cannot reach a human being at "Contact Us." They obviously do not want to hear from people upset about this garbage.By email: policy@nsf.gov
