This is great:

I'll just pick one point that is classically flawed. There are many but I would like to focus and make the one point.

"so why should we let someone teach social science that we know to be wrong in our social science courses?"

Because it is possible that you are wrong.
Science is not mathematics. Newtonian physics was wrong.
And social science is a further three rungs down in certainty from science.

Your level of certainty and arrogance about what can be said, and probably thought, smacks of religion, and not science. This is a political religion that permeates academia at the moment. And which I am fairly sure you will swear does not infect you, while the rest of us can see the symptoms quite plainly.

Only religions ban heretics from speaking because of the wrong-think they might cause. Real science loves a good heretic. In fact, honestly, the entire goal of science is to be a heretic. To have an idea that no other person ever had. Science is the pretty much the antithesis of your thought-police approach.

And most of academia used to be the antithesis of your thought police approach as well, until the religion of leftism took it over, with the direct help of people like you.

I’ve been trying to summarize my feelings on the Leftist religion for a long time. This comment did it better than I ever could. Spot on.

That Nancy Morris is quite something.

I read the rest of her comments and she mops the floor with those fake “intellectuals”.

I googled her to find out who she and didn’t come up with anything.
