the “hegemony of meritocratic ideology”...

If the ghost of Marie Curie starts hunting these idiots down I swear I'd hand her the axe.

#52. Marie Curie was a hardcore communist so she would probably agree with the crap these professors spouted.

There were women who contributed significantly to the technological side of cryptology during WW2 (the Bletchley Girls), Hedy Lamarr (invented a device concerning undersea warfare), women astronauts, the marvelous medical nurses of all our wars, the female spies (including Julia Childs, the chief), and now air force mechanics and pilots, etc.

A smart woman can hold her own against any man if given the chance. I work with some very smart women in the legal field. Wouldn’t want to go up against them in court.

And if anyone bothers to watch some current business ads on TV/Cable TV, they showcase a lot of women as CEO’s of technological firms. Good for them. We need more smart women, not political fakes and whores like Hillary Clinton and Fauxcohantas.

Science and engineering are the last bastions of sanity in higher education. This cannot be tolerated by the Frankfurt School influenced professorate. The hard sciences exclude those with IQs under 85 and many women. This meritocracy is a ‘tool of whiteness,’ and sexism. Blacks who want to excel are attacked for acting white. Some academic version of Gen. George Casey is saying, “What happened at the bridge by Florida International University was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.” Are the Chinese following our lead in this matter. If not they will be the leaders in this field. This study was Led by Carroll Serron, who teaches at the University of California-Irvine. She has been the Principal Investigator for multiple projects funded by the National Science Foundation, among other foundations. Your tax dollars at work. The President did not veto this.

Absurd. To put this in perspective—at my Moms funeral I learned that she had enrolled in an engineering class at the Univ of Iowa in the 1930s. She was removed the next day by the Dean. Seems she had enrolled as “Ed” rather than Edna in an effort to game the male only enrollment policy of the time.

Now that was a significant injustice—yet she never stated anything about it to us kids. She just got on with her life.
