The problem that the secular "social justice" elites have with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (so-called STEM) is that unlike all the other pabulum in faux disciplines such as gender studies and sociology, STEM can't be "dumbed down".

These disciplines require mastery, at least to a certain level. Yes, computers help a great deal, and in engineering, there are companies that specialize in doing a lot of the low-level "grunt" work.

But STEM stands in stark contrast to rest of the made-up world of academia. Its demands on the mind are rigorous, and there are those who can't cut it. That sticks in the craw of these elites.

Too bad for them.
