An adult since 1980, I can't remember them ever being committed to that idea... all they ever did was repeat the same thing and wait for folks to relent or get mad (so they could be called hysterical or dangerous.)

"The Left made science nakedly partisan in the 2010s", says a nakedly partisan grad school dropout whose education was funded by a holocaust denier

Razib Khan QTing Rebecca Sear: "Reality of what happened is the right-wing in the USA perceived, correctly, that the academy became nakedly and vigorously partisan in the 2010s, so they started engaging in a counter-move that aims to castrate, capture, and reorient. Descriptively this is what's happening. 

Rebecca Sear's original tweet a link to Guardian article "Florida university to host extremist after DeSantis-led lurch to right" with the text commentary "This is what happens if you interpret academic freedom to mean every belief should be platformed in academia, regardless of it scientific basis: those who misuse science to their own advantage will be given academic legitimacy."

Omg, being a grad student trying to convince UAW organizers of this was impossible... they were so afraid the university would learn that we knew what - to my group was obvious - the university already 100% knew we were losing.

every time I see someone complain about unions I think about how unions were the consensus alternative to the previous system of burning the factory owner alive inside his house
