A newly published academic journal article argues that science educators must do more to combat “whiteness” and “White ideology” in the classroom.

In their research essay titled “Towards a truer multicultural science education: how whiteness impacts science education,” University of Colorado at Denver scholars Cheryl E. Matias and Paul T. Le seek to “have the field consider the theoretical frames of whiteness and how it might influence how we engage in science education such that our hope for diversity never fully materializes.”

What they are really saying is “anything which cannot be twisted to give an advantage to blacks is racist”.

Objectivity, color blindness, rationality, and classical notions of fairness and justice are therefore racist.

To that, our only reply should be “So? Go f-— yourselves”.

I remember that one.

All the professors in my grad program were laughing their butts off.

“The great advantage of the scientific method is that it is unprejudiced: one does not have to believe a given researcher, one can redo the experiment and determine whether his/her results are true or false.”

It doesn’t seem like the “profs” and l have the same tool in mind.
