Scientists march on Washington The responsible application of science to government What is the Marc

Scientists March on Washington ^ | Saturday, January 21, 2017 | March for Science

Diversity

In the past days, scientists have voiced concern over many issues - gag orders for government science agencies, funding freezes, and reversing science based policies. We recognize that these changes will differently and disproportionately affect minority scientists, science advocates, and the global communities impacted by these changes in American policies. Addressing these issues is imperative in understanding how recent developments will affect all people - not simply the most privileged among us. We take seriously your concerns that for this march to be meaningful, we must centralize diversity of the march's organizers at all levels of planning. Diversity must also be reflected in the march itself —both through the mission statement and those who participate.

>> Because I am truly fed up with scientists with an agenda.

Science is hardly the divine discipline its made out to be. It’s a crude process of systematic failure to achieve the exceptions driven by personal desires for recognition and revenue. And that is a historical fact.

My question is: are they really unbiased, truthful scientists? Or are they scientists with and agenda? Because I am truly fed up with scientists with an agenda.

I stopped when I read the line: "We recognize that these changes will differently and disproportionately affect minority scientists,..."

I can’t wait for the Proctologists’ Walk on Washington. Their costumes will resemble Liberal Congressional Democrats and Progressives...and brown instead of pink. The women’s walk pink costumes looked like they represented male Liberal Congressional Democrats.

Psycho babble, it hurt my brain trying to make that paragraph make sense!

I wouldn’t doubt it.

I will say this though. If they think their jihad will go unanswered, they’ll get a big surprise. They’re going to get a big dose of Patriotism 101 at the end of a barrel.
