Richard Dawkins Stripped Of Top Humanist Award For Using Science To ‘Demean Marginalized Groups’
Forbes ^ | 04/20/2021 | Robert Hart

The American Humanist Association (AHA) has revoked its top “Humanist of the Year” honor from British biologist and noted atheist Richard Dawkins for the academic’s history of demeaning marginalized groups under “the guise of scientific discourse,” the group announced Monday, pointing to a recent statement that questions the validity of transgender people and suggests Black identity can be “assumed when convenient.”

Secular Humanist Richard Dawkins is being cancelled because he dared suggest more discussion on the scientific bona fides of transgenderism.

Richard Dawkins isn't woke enough. That's where we are.

Heh, one of the left’s prime rules (right behind “Our Only Standard is a Double One”) is “We Always Turn Against Ourselves”.

May they all kill each other in the worst ways.

Just make sure to dispose of the remains in a sanitary way, because these people are full of shi....Obamastuff.

Dawkins must feel really bad. Perhaps Obama can send him a replica of his Nobel prize to console him.

What these societies don’t realize is that they trivialize themselves not Dawkins or their other targets.
Who would even be gratified to get a Nobel Prize now? If it didn’t come with a monetary component who would even accept it? Who trusts the major scientific & medical journals now that they have published junk science to promote a political agenda?
The left is destroying their relevance and whatever vestiges of respect they had clung by dint of the cover given them by the lapdog press.

The scientific method is worthless when we are told to accept what people WANT TO BELIEVE instead of what IS.

Exactly. Note from the article “under the guitar of scientific discourse”. Translation: we don’t care about the facts, only the feelings.

Too funny. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy...but of course it’s happening to him for his rare moments of sanity, not his usual ludicrous God-hating babble.

Don’t believe those who cry, “Follow the science, man!” if they also believe men can get pregnant.

A man can’t become a woman. A woman can’t become a man. You are what you are. All science can do is mutilate your junk so you don’t know what you are. This nonsense won’t abate until we all openly ridicule and point out the idiocy of the tranny movement. To heck with “sensitivity”. Transgenderism is dangerous and should not be accepted on any level.

“Who trusts the major scientific & medical journals”

Not to mention what is happening to universities that peddle this bullshit. Who is going to pay the big bucks to be told to hate yourself? And even if they stop, can they overcome the legacy of this crap? I fear not.

Is the Humanist Award what they call their Saints?

Can their Saints fall from on High?

He has refused to bow down and worship islam, the world’s most violent religion. That is the reason why the left hates him.
