He didn't, though? His one post in this topic was #7, which was justifying coverage of the story and not the project itself.


Yeah, but justifying the coverage does seem to imply that there's something important about this story that needs to be discussed, does it not?

Seems to me that this is pretty clear story with not too much of interest to discuss.

more importantly, how odd to say this in your only post:

I think the original local coverage of this was worthwhile; there's a legitimate divide and tension being illustrated here, and it's definitely a story of local interest. I'm not sure Fox's version gets those same points across, and it's more aimed at fomenting a sense of "those darn liberals stifling research/science/differences of opinion!"

i mean this topic proves it doesn't get those same points across. it makes it come across as an article that can definitely have two sides to it with a "healthy" debate but it just ends up with one of those sides defending racism on a "scientific level" somehow...

Who knew 'the Bell Curve' debate would make such a roaring comeback in the 21st century?

Why is Fox News reporting on a random high school's science fair?

I don't use twitter, but does she have any tweets on Alabama schools being allowed to be stickers on biology textbooks that call evolution "controversial" and "just a theory"? Probably not I'm assuming.

There already exist entire college courses, mainstream media articles and websites, politicians, political activists, and Oscar nominated movies committed to the idea that white people are inherently evil, and you think white supremacy is the problem?


Absurdly delusional opinions like this are why we can't have nice things

I don't think she's a bible thumper type who subscribes to creationism, just a racist.

That wasn't my point, I was wondering how much she cares about actual science. It's laughable that she hears about some high school student project and needed to write a tweet about it. That's when she cares about science. It just underlies the main problem that people like her need to shut the hell up, they don't give a shit about science.

no she's just a moron who thinks being controversial makes her smart. she's basically a CE poster. she'll say anything if it "riles up the Libs"
