One of the world’s largest and most influential scientific societies held its annual conference last weekend, which a Fox News Digital review found was littered with examples of progressive messaging, criticisms of the Trump administration, and “woke” workshops.
Attendees who showed up at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) event, held at the Phoenix Convention Center from Feb. 12-14, were immediately greeted at registration with identifier stickers that used gender pronouns such as “they/them,” “xi/xer,” “xe/xem,” and other descriptors that critics have alleged have little to do with science and biology.
During the meeting’s opening night, shortly after a 10-minute hoop dance routine from traditional Native American dancers, AAAS CEO Dr. Sudip Parikh told the audience that it’s been a “hard” and “tough year for science and scientists in this country.”
Parikh went on to blame DOGE for the “devastation” of “some of our science agencies” and the “president’s budget request” that “cut science by half” and, in his opinion, amounted to “forfeiting the future.” […]
AAAS, the publisher of the highly respected Science magazine, posted several more videos over the course of the next few days, many including speakers who criticized the Trump administration and injected politics into discussions.
“Colonial Legacies, Climate Crises, and the Erosion of Mobility Choice” was another workshop that scientists at the conference were offered and in an interview with “climate justice scholar” Jola Ajibade, she explained how climate change has benefited a “few wealthy people” while “low-income communities are displaced.” …

Those are great!
“If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth”[struck out replaced with the word science]
That is not true. The lie is still a lie. But people [usually weak minded ones] believe the lie.
Was Dr. Robert Stadler there?
“Attendees who showed up at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)”
Another body hijacked by rabid leftists in their “long march through the institutions” .
Are there any left that they don’t control?
However expected, still disappointing.
Bingo. Dr. Sudip Parikh. Jumped right out. Another institution taken over by dot head Indians. They’re everywhere.
Scientist that are incapable of looking between their legs to figure out what gender they are and don’t believe in actual science fact aren’t scientists, they’re idiots.
Another group hijacked has been the Institute of Food Scientists. End results is membership has decreased significantly and annual convention attendance has bee halved from 2017 peak. They got caught last year trying to boost attendance numbers by tracking people going in as well as out of convention. GO woke Go broke
“Newspeak’ is dying a rough and long agonizing death.
My pronouns are so handsome/so charming
Everyone MUST use my chosen pronouns
😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅 one of the best lines
People who pushes 'they/them', 'xi/xer', 'xe/xem' shouldn't be called scientists!! 😀
“xi/xer,” “xe/xem,”
That is made-up crap. Those aren’t even words.
Can we stop pandering to sexually deviant leftists?
Another good public service poster needed. A+
Strange how politics works the same way huh.
Leftist hacks do their best to take over the “leadership” of all organizations, so they can use the reputation and moral weight of the group to promote Leftist political agendas. Failing that, they “win” by destroying any organizations that implode rather than kowtow to Marxist claptrap.
They hollow out everything they can identify, like worm or locusts. They’ve probably targeted the John Birch Society.
