Shocking that this isn’ t from the Onion or the BabylonBee. Also shocking the any Leftists will challenge their colleagues.

The self-identified “left-leaning liberal” academics, told the Wall Street Journal they undertook the project out of concern “that certain aspects of knowledge production in the United States have been corrupted” by a hesitance among academics to question research based on privilege and identity for fear of accusations of bigotry.

Dancing around what they really know: academia is populated mostly by hardcore leftist activists and they will automatically and unquestioningly publish what fits their own desired outcomes and nothing else.

You can apply the same finding to climate science.

Afilia, a peer-reviewed feminist journal, accepted one of their papers, “Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism,” which is a rewrite of one chapter of “Mein Kampf.”

Entirely appropriate. One bunch of Nazis publishing another.

i don’t know which would be worse: that the dog park rape spaces paper was real, or that the paper was fake and they published it anyway.

Leftist academia: the papers are fake but the bias is real.

This is the Sokal Hoax experiment writ large, and one of the reasons why I take nothing new out of academia at face value.

In a few years, when the press has been healed of their stupidity they'll highlight this story... for now, they'll ignore it.

Wake up Washington Post - cover this story. Redeem your future self...

The MSM went to sleep long ago in this country... you can send them anything you want and they’ll call it the ‘truth’
