A top scientific journal places political correctness above the search for truth

Nature Human Behavior, one of the most prestigious journals for social science research, recently published an editorial titled "Science must respect the dignity and rights of all humans."

  • The article generated tremendous pushback among academics and intellectuals concerned about the spread of social-justice ideology into science.
  • What did the editorial say? In short, it took the position that scientific truth should defer to politics
  • Anything that could be perceived as disparaging is now fair game for rejection or retraction
  • Implications on scientific inquiry and truth-seeking are clear
  • An empirically flawless study could be retracted under the guise of social justice
