Those darn ions.

Like ions repel and unlike ions attract.

That’s why a black and white person attract - so the black will attack the white at the subway station.

It’s Physics. It’s Science. PhD thesis material right here.

Absolutely not. The white chalk is showing superiority over the black board by imposing its will over it. This would be very very bad.

The stupid is strong here even with the PhD in Physics!
A pathetic stunt for attention is my guess. Perhaps her promotion & tenure review must be coming up. An attempt to make herself bullet proof for the review! She needs it since she has little to no production in actual physics.

Unfortunately, most universities have gone this way en masse, across all disciplines.

Many students in universities today should never have gotten out of high school. So I guess the reasoning is that they can’t make use of real teachers anyway, so this pap is good enough.

“It’s research that is meant to explain why so few black people are in the field....”

I stopped reading right there! My great grandpappy worked the cotton fields, I ain’t doing ANYTHING like that!

I guess and if it’s a state school the taxpayers are paying for it!

Actually, if it’s a state school and the school has a sports rep, the taxpayers are paying for entertainment not higher education. Many taxpayers (Fans!) are fine with that!

Failure to to choose studying over partying is the obvious explanation. True for many white students too!

Where’s my Physics Ed grant?

+1, perfect use of Physics to illustrate your point.

When I went to school, we universally used ‘Black Boards.’

Physics is probably ‘racist’ because you need a ‘Ph’ in order make the ‘F’ sound.

A very plausible theory.

The strategy didn't work out that well for Michael Sam or Colin Kaepernick. We'll see if the physics department at Seattle Pacific University is dumber than the NFL.

Interestingly — and as an aside — I note that the Wikipedia page on Michael Sam currently contains this line:

On August 14, 2015, Sam announced, on Twitter, he was stepping away from professional football due to mental health reasons. He currently shares his experiences as an author and motivational speaker.
Perhaps this is a potential future path for Professor Amy Robertson.

We can safely conclude that Physical Review Physics Education Research is a garbage journal.

Anything that is too hard or that requires hard work and dedication is racist to these people.

This is where the real ‘inequities’ lie in higher education - and minorities, especially, are really being taken for a very dishonest ride on this.

Students and parents are paying exorbitant amounts for education, and the young people come out in many cases with less true education than their grandparents received in public school.

They can parrot all of the D-E-I stuff, but many can’t get a good job in a field where they actually have to think and perform adequately in a practical way.

If I had a young person now, I’d make him or her go to a trade school first. Then they could go on to higher ed - and actually have the money to pay for it.

Amy is not really a physicist. Her grad school activities centered around TEACHING Physics. She’s really an Education major.

Given her actual field, and the certainty that blaming blacks for their own failures would be an instant career ender, it is not surprising that her research revolves around finding racism as a cause for failure.
