While left-wing activists often accuse conservatives of being “science deniers” when it comes to global warming, one biology professor at Williams College has noticed a troubling trend since the election of Donald Trump: students’ zealous embrace of social justice ideology is increasingly resulting in “denialism” when it comes to well-established biological ideas.
In an op-ed for The Atlantic titled “Self-censorship on Campus is Bad for Science,” Biology Professor Luana Maroja — who has found herself in the middle of social justice outrage in the past, and pushed back (h/t John Sexton) — describes a shift she’s witnessed among a growing number of her students since Trump won the presidency.
