PC invades Tuscaloosa
https://quillette.com/2020/03/06/ive-bee...worry-you/

"...My first day in Tuscaloosa was uneventful. On the second day, I visited a class and had an enjoyable discussion with students about various topics, including human evolution and social signaling. I was then supposed to meet professors and students for lunch, but instead my guide delivered me to an empty room where I received a number of texts from my host: The professors had found my RationalWiki entry, which accuses me—inter alia—of writing “racist bull**** for the right-wing online magazine Quillette.”

Notwithstanding its name, which indicates a commitment to thought and reason, RationalWiki is a highly partisan and tendentious site which its authors use to mock and defame their political opponents. (They have also refused to update misinformation about my work and views even after I have written corrections.)..."

One of author's topics is human genetic variation, the idea that we are all individuals with different abilities. The people who attacked him at Tuscaloosa eventually lead to him getting fired at his tenure track job at Marietta College in Ohio.

I read the entire article. Not surprising, but absolutely frightening.

Well, you knew that the computer age would eventually make it to all backwards redneck locations, even Tuscaloosa.

RE: PC invades Tuscaloosa
let me get this straight....a wannabe prof on his path to tenure is invited to discuss the parallels of cultural divide/human propagation based on Darwinian principles and is eaten alive by the liberal carnivorous cultists that are embedded in academia, simply b/c his writings (apparently in mock and misapplied) appeared on a right wing website that mocks the left for their obvious lunacy....

lmfao....does anyone else see the irony in this....

I can't laugh any harder at today's ding-dongs on both sides of the equation....

I'm not so sure. This story asks you to believe that:

a. one can have a "pleasant time" visiting UAT.
b. there are faculty members at UAT capable of using the google, and,
c. the Crimson White has a columnist capable of spelling "eugenicist."

But yeah, sure UAB.

Those poor blonde girls needed something to do since they got kicked out of the diversity and inclusion safe spaces. The struggle is real.
