When you insist on saying any scientific research that disagrees is part of some vast conspiracy or the result of partisanship. \u00a0It took me forever to find this story<\/a> outside of conservative, religious \u00a0outlets. \u00a0Obviously oversight on the part of other outlets. \u00a0The story I linked to is an editorial. \u00a0\u00a0Of course groups promoting diversity are taking immediate action and threatening Johns Hopkins with reprisals if immediate disassociation with the violators doesn\u2019t happen. \u00a0 What a fortunate time we live in. \u00a0Everything keeps proving we\u2019re right because everything that suggests otherwise is just hate and stupidity that must immediately be banished into the outer darkness for the sake of tolerance. \u00a0Whew. \u00a0Enlightened times these.<\/p>\n

Seriously, there is an innate danger with\u00a0declaring anyone with an opposing\u00a0opinion as worthy of punishment. \u00a0It\u2019s called surrounding yourself by yes men. \u00a0 Or I guess yes people. \u00a0It\u2019s never a smart move. \u00a0Let the opinions be published, refute them, smack them down, do whatever. \u00a0But do not punish people for expressing them. \u00a0That can only go one way, and it isn\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n
