That is how you get results from the recent Google AI fiasco to Lysenkoism to Galileo being condemned.
This goes along with the Left’s demonization of IQ scores, or any objective measurement of anything.
Indeed.
What’s their beef? It doesn’t say they’re stupid, it just says they’re not special.
Well, at least the college students aren’t dumber than average.....yet.
If the topic is IQ and only the facts are in evidence then it will be publish and perish...
“...over the past 80 years, as a far greater proportion of North Americans attended college, the average IQ of college undergraduates dropped from around 120 to 102, just slightly above the average of 100.”
This is not surprising...ANYONE gets into “college” these days. And the complainers are proving the point.
Apparently the study was flawed by omission of Lake Woebegone University, where all the undergraduates are above average.
On the serious side, the real “flaw” in the study is that the results are axiomatic. Elimination of merit-based/competitive admissions standards, and democratization of who attends colleges will always result in the student body’s average IQ matching the average of the general population.
“Over the past 20 years, black enrollment in colleges and universities has skyrocketed.”

Bkmk.
Professor eddy daveleer didn’t approve of the tone.
I’ll bet Professor eddy wouldn’t care for my time either.
George Carlin once said something like, “Think about how stupid the average person is. Now, realize that half the population is stupider than that.”
Uniformity and conformity are intelligence killers.
Even if the leftists were well intended-
we were FAR better off with differentiation of education.
People in the 50’s came from an extremely diverse backgrounds, brought different creativity and imaginations for the future.
People now are educated almost identically, inhibiting creativity, imagination and curiosity. The result is dumber people.
Twitter is back to conservative censorship in a major way. Shadow banning, the withholding of posts by conservatives so no one sees them, is rampant. Also, liberal accounts that are nothing but automation responses are out in force instead of getting banned.
