The so-called “consensus” by psychologists and pediatricians on the soundness of same-sex parenting is, Lopez writes, “frankly bogus.” The truth is, there is no data to support that assertion.
Instead, as political scientists Leon Kass of the University of Chicago and Harvey Mansfield of Harvard University note, “Claims that science provides support for constitutionalizing a right to same-sex marriage must rest necessarily on ideology”—and “ideology is not science.”
Yeah! Those psychologists and pediatricians have no idea what they're talking about. This political scientist on the other hand...![]()
Scientists sent to prison for fraudulent conduct - University World News
Hmmmmmmm. Interesting article about research frauds going to prison
Nah, couldn't happen
I'm certainly not saying that psychologists and pediatricians would never lie. I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of saying that their word means nothing, because a political scientist said so.
These bodies are increasingly politicized and as a result they are facing membership declines, likely from people who object to the politicization of their field of study.
Here is a telling example. Anthropologists have disavowed science so as to free them to become political advocates:
Anthropologists have been thrown into turmoil about the nature and future of their profession after a decision by the American Anthropological Association at its recent annual meeting to strip the word “science” from a statement of its long-range plan.
The decision has reopened a long-simmering tension between researchers in science-based anthropological disciplines — including archaeologists, physical anthropologists and some cultural anthropologists — and members of the profession who study race, ethnicity and gender and see themselves as advocates for native peoples or human rights. . . . .
He attributed what he viewed as an attack on science to two influences within anthropology. One is that of so-called critical anthropologists, who see anthropology as an arm of colonialism and therefore something that should be done away with. The other is the postmodernist critique of the authority of science. “Much of this is like creationism in that it is based on the rejection of rational argument and thought,” he said.
On another front, have you been following GamerGate - the gaming press is more interested in furthering the social justice viewpoint than in being honest arbiters and reporters of what is happening in the gaming industry and they go so far as to tell their audience to bugger off if they don't like all the leftist agitprop being shoved down their throats.
When you point to a politicized statement from a group of professionals, you're merely relying on argument from authority, not on actual scientific evidence.
Typical distortion of the facts by Pastor Rikurzhen.
Anthropologists have disavowed science so as to free them to become political advocates:
The REALITY however is nothing remotely akin to Pastor Rikurzhen's egregious lies!
The association’s president, Virginia Dominguez of the University of Illinois, said in an e-mail that the word had been dropped because the board sought to include anthropologists who do not locate their work within the sciences, as well as those who do. She said the new statement could be modified if the board received any good suggestions for doing so.
The new long-range plan differs from the association’s “statement of purpose,” which remains unchanged, Dr. Dominguez said. That statement still describes anthropology as a science.
Looks like you were exposed as a liar yet again by your own link!
