Women and minorities cannot understand logic or objective truths, says a graduate student in her dissertation, so science classes should stop using the scientific method.
College science classes are hostile to women and minorities because they use the scientific method, which assumes people can find reliable truths about the natural world through careful and sustained experimentation, concludes a recent dissertation by a doctoral candidate at the University of North Dakota.
Laura Parson, a student in the university’s education department, reviewed eight science class syllabi at a “Midwest public university” and said she discovered in them a hidden hostility to women and minorities:
"Initial exploration of the STEM syllabi in this study did not reveal overt references to gender, such as through the use of gendered pronouns. However, upon deeper review, language used in the syllabi reflects institutionalized STEM teaching practices and views about knowledge that are inherently discriminatory to women and minorities by promoting a view of knowledge as static and unchanging, a view of teaching that promotes the idea of a passive student, and by promoting a chilly climate that marginalizes women."
Even though the course syllabi contained no “gendered assumptions” about students or other overtly discriminatory implications, Parson writes, they display prejudice against women and minorities because they refuse to entertain the possibility that “scientific knowledge is subjective.”
Women Are Too Stupid to Use Logic
Throughout her dissertation, Parson assumes and asserts that women and minorities are uniquely challenged by the idea that science can provide objective information about the natural world. This is an unfair assumption, she says, because the concept of objectivity is too hard for women and minorities to understand. “[N]otions of absolute truth and a single reality” are “masculine,” she says, referring to poststructuralist feminist theory.

Stupid hurts, so she must be in constant agony.
And, I will bet this dipshit gets her doctorate based on this nonsense.
It’s post-modern pseudo-intellectual garbage. She should be kicked out for this nonsense.
You know which minority they mean.
Also the answer to this mystery can be found in “The Bell Curve”
Look at the IQ distributions and you will find the explanation for your statement and hers too.
She’s probably a Leftsider ...
This is “virtue signaling” defined.
In conclusion, women and minorities should major in 'Climate Change' studies.
Her assertions are so patently absurd that you can’t question her motivation is caring.
Therefore, she’s more caring then you.
Nothing subjective about that in her mind.
"If you can't DO, teach."
(And if you can't teach, teach teachers!)
It wasn't like this before the schools became a gigantic government jobs program, though.
“In conclusion, women and minorities should major in ‘Climate Change’ studies.”
Excellent point. I’m no scientist, but there’s an obvious correlation between the increase in global warming “science” and the big push for women and minorities in STEM.
I don’t understand technology. Therefore I should not have to use it.
Better yet, how about this: I don’t understand the law. Therefore, I should not have to follow it. Wait, we already have that for liberals and illegal aliens.
One problem with getting a Ph.D. in education is the need to write a thesis on something new. What’s new in education? Not much really. At least not much that is intellectually accessible to the type of student who usually goes into this field. Therefore we are subjected to a constant stream of morons making up new crap to foist on the next generation of students.
I heard about one guy who wrote a master’s thesis in education on the uses of styrofoam. Not as stupid as this woman, but still pathetic.
This woman is not from the “women’s studies” dept. She is a PhD candidate in the education dept.
SHE will be a professor who will be instructing TEACHERS who will then go on to teach this drivel to OUR KIDS!
I clicked on the article.
It'd have to be with a *very* thirsty beta cuck.
