'Father of DNA' James Watson Stripped of Awards for Remarks on Race AKA (TELLING THE TRUTH) https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/01/14/father-of-dna-james-watson-stripped-of-awards-for-remarks-on-race/ Watson sparked criticism in the science community when he appeared to defend ties between race and IQ. “There’s a difference on the average between blacks and whites on IQ tests. I would say the difference is, it’s genetic”. So what does the progressive thought police do, the label him a doddering old men, claim statements are Unsupported by Science.  Then in same statement he is "misusing science to justify prejudice."  Wait a minute, if the definition of science is "a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general law", and his claims are unsupported or false, then his finding is not science, how can he be using that science to justify prejudice. Same thing happened to Herrnstein and Murray when they published "The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life."  Critics immediately labeled the book as based on Bad Research, Junk Science.  Murray said this 20 years later when asked to reflect on the legacy of "The Bell Curve: The reaction to “The Bell Curve” exposed a profound corruption of the social sciences that has prevailed since the 1960s. “The Bell Curve” is a relentlessly moderate book — both in its use of evidence and in its tone — and yet it was excoriated in remarkably personal and vicious ways, sometimes by eminent academicians who knew very well they were lying. Why? Because the social sciences have been in the grip of a political orthodoxy that has had only the most tenuous connection with empirical reality, and too many social scientists think that threats to the orthodoxy should be suppressed by any means necessary. Corruption is the only word for it. Now that I’ve said that, I’m also thinking of all the other social scientists who have come up to me over the years and told me what a wonderful book “The Bell Curve” is. But they never said it publicly. So corruption is one thing that ails the social sciences. Cowardice is another. We all know that social scientist spew claims of Junk Science , Flawed Data, and yet cannot contradict the Actual Data.  The leftist do-gooders see the headline, "Why Charles Murray Promotes Racist Junk Science"  that include text like, "You wouldn’t know that the “science” of The Bell Curve has been thoroughly debunked by real biologists and social scientists", and usually just based on the title alone make the claim that "The Bell Curve" has been debunked.  You see this idiocy when John R. Lott produces a well researched paper on "More Guns = Less Crime"  Some unqualified whack job makes a claim that Lott's study is Junk Science, despite the fact that Lott can refute every claim made against his data, (see this debate https://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/guns-reduce-crime) and the leftist read the headline, and scream, "debunked". The Left wants to deny any factor of Race in determining success or social outcomes, but as Charles Krauthammer observed, "This interesting, says Charles Krauthammer (1994), “given the fact that for the last two decades it is the very liberals who so vehemently denounce Murray who have been obsessed by race, insisting that every institution—universities, fire departments, Alaskan canneries—must have data on group membership.”
