Watch Leftist Students Say Science Is Racist and Should Be Abolished
Reason ^ | 10/14/2016 | Robbie Soave

Students at the University of Cape Town in South Africa brought some interesting concerns before the science faculty this week: namely, they think science as it is currently understood must be abolished.

"The whole thing should scratched off, especially in Africa," said one of the students.

Essentially, these students believe that modern scientific understanding is too Eurocentric.

But according to the student, witchcraft is like Isaac Newton's theory of gravity—it's just one way of explaining the world, among many.

"Decolonising the science would mean doing away with it entirely and starting all over again to deal with how we respond to the environment and how we understand it," the student continued.

Science strives to be objective (the politicized “climate” quacks notwithstanding). The left doesn’t want truth. It wants “scientists” to rubber stamp a political agenda.

That means getting rid of medicine and things like food cleanliness and chemicals for farming. In other words, they want to step back 500 years in time. I guess they also want to bring back slavery.

Does this also include “climate change science”? It should.

Then these fools should stay off of social media. It it weren’t for dead White guys like Edison, Marconi, Tesla, etc the Internet wouldn’t have been feasible.

These are the same fools who swear by science when promoting their climate change agenda.

Apparently these students aren’t doing well in their science classes. They’re probably not doing well in their math classes either.

No, no, no.

The Interwebs is the product of Liberal Social Genius
and reverse engineering.

Algore cobbled it together in his basement from stuff recovered
at the Roswell crash site.

They’re managing that pretty well next door in Zimbabwe.

So science is racist, and (non-muslim) religion is too!
This shows the inherent insanity of the left.
The only belief system they accept is izlam - a violent, backward, unnatural inhuman death cult.

"The students are apparently known as "fallists." Their hashtag is #ScienceMustFall."

Because Math is hard.
(It's got numbers and stuff.)

So...science (& probably math) shouldn’t be taught. But I’m guessing they still want their smart phones & cars.

Did you read the article?
These people think that they have a special place
where they can go and conjure a lightning strike.

How far away from that is Algore creating the Intertube?
