A prime example of ‘educated beyond intelligence’

They lie. They make up facts and statistics. When caught in the act, they say “Oops”.

I saw that it was written by a Sociologist. Which tells me they just took the outright statistics and probably said A=B and C=D so A=D.

Brainless twit doesn’t even consider areas of high crime might well have high drug abuse by pregnant mothers, resulting in underweight babies, but...the author was a sociologist, after all.

It was a black Marxist racist story to begin with, saying blacks were predispositioned to failure due to stress put on their collective.

The fact is that sociology and its stepchild, criminology, have long since abandoned any semblance of scientific validity. They have both degenerated into political demagoguery.

“Police killings of unarmed blacks substantially decrease the birth weight and gestational age of black infants residing nearby.”

Imagine what abortion does to those poor things.

Correspondence is not causation. A similar relationship can be found between impoverished blacks with an eviction within the previous 6 months and police brutality. There might even be evidence.

Read up on Dr. Patrick Frank. The guy has been trying to tell the “climate scientists” that they have been (intentionally?) using the models they “borrowed” from the physicists inappropriately either through incompetence or bad faith for years. They wouldn’t even publish his work.

A week later the study was retracted. There were errors, for example, in the classification of armed and unarmed suspects

Well, yeah, not to mention what that whole "gestational age of the infant" suggests.

With this idiot in place we have another reason why “higher” education is a F^^king waste of money. Most majors today would get a better education reading comic books (if they could actually read) than they are getting from these moron so-called Professors.

The original story fit the narrative of the left and was hailed. The correction did not and was not.

BS and utter drek.

August Weisman cut off the tails of mice for many generations (probabaly in front of them) and not one mouse born after had smaller tails.

Physiological damage can affect existing persons but not ones yet to be born.

Yet these same scientists will happily support abortion of the black race because that’s “good”

The last people to engage in this kind of science were the Nazis. That kind of politics as religion based scientific logic supported things like the vivisection of pregnant Jewish women in Dachau.

These bastards are nascent Nazis, liberal fascists, ready to go to any length to destroy America and substitute the Constitution with their Utopian hell..

Saul ALinsky is their guide.

Right now the Alinskyites want to destroy our police institutions while disarming America at the same time? Virginia is their test ground.

A pox on the lot of them.

One of N reasons that Harvard is becoming a joke.

STEM excluded, of course. So far, at least.
