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
