The Cultural Revolution finds a new target. Seems like an excellent opportunity to start cleaning out the universities however, starting with the seditious "grievance studies" departments that exist only to fester and incite these issues.

Defund academia.

The Party of Science shutting down science.

A day without physicists and astronomers? The horrors.

[OttawaFreeper]

But I was told that science itself was racist.

[Salman]

Every institution is corrupted by power politics, and scientific expertise means nothing absent professional integrity.

[ClearCase_guy]

Can these scientists define Race? What race is Tiger Woods?

[PGR88]

Yep, that’s going to get blacks into Physics and engineering.

[BRL]

Scientists around the world are focusing more on politics than science. Knock me over with a feather

Dang, and I was just this [-—] close to getting my Gender Studies M.A.

Scientists who would do this are not likely to be good scientists, so “don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.”

[PIF]

Scientists around the world are striking against racism in academia as they prepare to enter a scientific Dark Age ... again.

Isn’t it funny that all of these institutions which have almost exclusively liberal staff and professors are so racist? It’s almost like being racist is a fundamental part of leftism.

Of course, what all of those whiny self-back patters overlook is that the lack of representation of various identity groups in the STEM field is not because of institutional racism, at least not the way they define racism. On the contrary, those liberals are doing everything they can to increase the numbers of non-white male representation in the STEM fields, including the racist/sexist practice of lowering standards to entice less qualified applicants into those fields. Perhaps they need to come to terms with the fact that some people do not choose STEM fields, and that some cultures do not value (and even disparage) academic achievement. Until they recognize and analyze the root causes of why women and certain minorities do not enter STEM fields, and they remain fixated on some ill-defined notion of institutional racism, they are never going to solve the problem (if it can be solved).

As Victor Davis Hanson recently wrote, today's Revolutionary is tomorrow's Counterrevolutionary.

In short, you can pretend to be down with the struggle today, but the mob is NEVER satisfied, and you may very well find yourself the next one on the guillotine block.

Robespierre found out the hard way.

All of the liberal whites shouting for "BIPOC justice!" today may find out that their job, salary, position, home, or family is the next target of the mob.

[voicereason]

Are there any true academics left? With all the B.S. classes and degrees with “Studies” at the end of them, where is the rigor in academia?

[CodeToad]

Wanna stop racism in academia? Stop giving blacks passing grades for nothing. Make them earn it. Make them earn getting in and staying in.

I literally watched a black women get a pass in Calculus without turning in any homework or taking any tests. The professor claimed he had to pass her because the school demanded it to keep blacks enrolled due to federal Department of Education requirements.

"Black members of our communities are being harassed and lynched with little to no consequence, as well as being disproportionately affected by the current pandemic," says Tien-Tien Yu, a particle physicist at the University of Oregon

Nothing like a little hyperbole to start the day!

Seriously: Do words mean nothing now?

Because affirmative action scientists will improve science.
