1/ The Dalton School in Manhattan is having a race meltdown. It's absolutely insane. Teachers are holding the school for ransom with demands, but they're so extreme the school will crumble if they give in. But they'll crumble if they don't, too!

Here are some of the demands: Image
2/ "Dalton has... actively encouraged the sort of thinking that is now biting them in the ass. And the obvious irony is that if Dalton is 'systemically racist,' a belief they themselves promote, it is progressives who bear the responsibility." thenakeddollar.blogspot.com/2020/12/breaki…
3/ Other schools & universities should take note. Giving in to this ideology is not a winning strategy. Hiring diversity officers will not improve your situation. Diversity officers are good at one thing: finding reasons to justify hiring more diversity officers.
4/ You eventually reach a tipping point where there are so many diversity officers fighting to uncover ever-more nuanced forms of racism and perceived oppression that a school's probability of boiling over in a moral panic for no apparent reason approaches 1.
5/ The list of demands is only the short version. There are actually 24 much more expansive demands that span 8 full pages! Here they are below.

6/ And continued... ImageImage

🚨ALERT: This pseudoscientific activist "study" on "White ignorance" grounded in Critical Race Theory was paid for by an NIH grant that is supposed to be funding research on coronary heart disease (CHD) in children.

What was the justification for this? How much of this $3.1M grant money was spent on this project? I think taxpayers would really like to know.Image
The "study" was an absolute joke.

It spun the responses of white teens who reject racism and "treat people as individuals" as evidence of “white ignorance” and “white supremacy.”

Look at this table from the paper and the kinds of responses the authors flag as "themes of white ignorance."

Oh, you don't like it when activists state that "all white people are racist"? This means you're "constructing white as disadvantaged," which is a form of "white ignorance."

The response:

"I don't really care what your skin, what your race is like you're still the same person on the inside even if you look different on the outside."

Was flagged as "framing race(ism) as unimportant or elsewhere," which is also a form of "white ignorance."

If every conceivable response can be bent to support your activist conclusion, then you're not doing science.

How much of our tax dollars were spent on this?Image

🚨A NEW PAPER published by Springer Nature argues that "pregnancy is not to be defined by biological phenomena but instead as a genre of political, aesthetic, and affective experience...involving birth and becoming in a larger sense."

It's the most 🦇💩 paper I've ever read. 🧵 Image
First, you can watch/listen to me and @brad_polumbo discuss this paper in all its insane, hilarious, and often disturbing detail now on our new podcast, Citation Needed.

The first sentence of the paper is a flat lie, claiming that Texas HB 2690 defined a "woman" as "an individual with a uterus, regardless of any gender identity."

In reality, it defines "woman" as "an individual whose biological sex is female," and provides additional details. Image

🚨BREAKING: China Is Using TikTok to Wage a Trade War Against the United States

New data shared with me from @ncri_io reveals that TikTok is using their algorithm and state-backed influencers to evade U.S. tariffs via propaganda, triangle shipping, and fraud. 🧵Image
The viral push began in earnest on April 10—a week after the U.S. announced its new tariffs—when TikTok saw a huge spike in #sourcing content. Other platforms like Instagram didn’t exhibit a similar jump, showing that TikTok was the main driver of the campaign. Image
Just a few days later, China’s Ministry of Commerce launched its “Shopping in China” campaign. It encouraged global shoppers to buy replica and counterfeit products (often passed off as the real thing) directly from Chinese sellers, while also promoting Chinese culture. Image

🚨BREAKING: A new report from @ncri_io uncovers a MASSIVE surge in foreign funding to universities under Biden, and a potential pipeline of foreign cash and public funds directly promoting radicalization and terrorism on U.S. campuses. 🧵Image
President Donald Trump has launched an aggressive campaign against the nation’s top universities, accusing them of failing to uphold civil rights, protect women’s sports, defend free speech, and prevent the spread of antisemitism. Image
Now, with the NCRI report's new findings, Trump’s fight has entered a critical new phase: a confrontation over universities’ opaque financial ties that may be compromising their ideological independence and enabling radical, anti-American movements.

🚨As the U.S. enters an era of legal warfare over pediatric “gender-affirming” care, it’s time to shift the terms of debate from outcomes to the foundational premises of the practice.

No amount of reported benefit can salvage a practice rooted in pseudoscience. 🧵 Image
I have served as an expert witness for several court cases on gender-affirming care. These courtroom debates fixate almost entirely on whether the treatments show evidence of benefit.

This is a mistake.
The UK's Cass Review exposed the “remarkably weak” evidence supporting pediatric sex-trait modification.

But while exposing this evidentiary void is welcome, focusing solely on outcomes cedes too much ground to proponents by implying outcomes alone can legitimize the practice.Image

Last week, the American Psychological Association released a statement about Trump's EO on the biology of sex.

In a section titled "What the Science Says," the APA makes several embarrassingly false statements due to their blind commitment to sex pseudoscience.

THREAD 🧵 Image
STATEMENT 1: "Sex is a biological characteristic determined by chromosome and reproductive anatomy."

This statement is reflective of profound ignorance regarding the distinction between how sex is developmentally DETERMINED and how it's DEFINED.

It's true that in humans sex is "determined by chromosomes," but that just means genes on certain chromosomes guide embryos down developmental pathways that will result in either a male or female. So, on its face, this statement seems all right.

But the fact that they included "reproductive anatomy" in how sex is determined reveals their muddled thinking. The development of certain reproductive anatomy that has the function to produce either sperm or ova is how sex is DEFINED, not how it's DETERMINED.
STATEMENT 2: "The assertion that only two sexes exist is not scientifically accurate."

Because sex is universally defined in terms of the type of gamete an individual has the biological function to produce, and there are only two types of gamete (sperm and ova), there are and can only be two sexes.

For there to be more than 2 sexes would require a distinct third gamete that a person can have the biological function to produce.
