A “Bombshell” study was recently published in the
Journal Social Science Research
which set off a firestorm. The author of
the research, Mark Regenerus, had concluded that children who were raised by
gay parents were socially disadvantaged compared to their peers. The forces of political correctness, mainly
gay advocates along with their allies in academia couldn’t have that. So charges of scientific misconduct were
filed against the professor.
Regenerus was exonerated
of any misconduct with the university only finding minor errors, which are
errors which do not affect the conclusion once factored in. Most studies will have a few of those (Rose,
2012). You can bet that given its conclusions
the paper and the research behind it were investigated thoroughly. The University of Texas at Austin was under a
lot of pressure from its peers to find misconduct and ruin this man’s academic
career. Since then the Gay community and
its friends in academia have been bashing the study and its author nonstop with
the article BOMBSHELL: Corruption Uncovered In Regnerus Anti-Gay
Study Scandal (Marshall, 2012) being a prime example.
In
the hit piece by Marshall, a gay advocate, the organizations willing to pile on
include “1) the American Psychological Association; 2) the
California Psychological Association; 3) the
American Psychiatric Association; 4) the National
Association of Social Workers; and 5) its California
Chapter; 6) the American Medical Association; 7) the
American Academy of Pediatrics; and 8) the
American Psychoanalytic Association.”
This is a who’s who of organizations, led by the American Psychological
Association, which buckled under the pressure exerted on them by gay activists
starting in the 1970s and embraced homosexual behavior as normal and become
advocacy organizations for the gay lifestyle.
If
the good professor hadn’t been exonerated I would call this the pot calling the
kettle black given the lunacy which constitutes gay studies and the ongoing
papers presented which condemn conservatives and others who believe in
traditional morals as moral degenerates and which are openly presented in
gatherings of academia. With all due
respect those folks are in no position to criticize Mr. Regenerus.
Yet
they think nothing of it. In a world
where science must now conform to a political agenda in the fields of the
social sciences, all research done must conform or not see the light of day. We saw graphically displayed for us in the
field of climate science an ongoing conspiracy to suppress research which didn’t
conform to the political agenda and keep it out of the journals. We also saw something of the same thing when
a paper on intelligent design was published by Dr. Stephen C. Meyer in the
Smithsonian affiliated journal, the Proceedings of the Biological Society of
Washington (Cashill, 2007). That
scandal back in 2006 revealed an ongoing conspiracy in the scientific community
not to allow the publishing of any article suggestive of an alternative theory
to evolution in any journal, no matter how well argued.
This
writer finds such behavior disturbing.
As a society we have allowed the sciences to be high jacked to serve as
propaganda. Clearly those who do so are
using it to manipulate people to allow things they would not otherwise
permit. When something wears the
imprimatur of “science” then the average person assumes it must be true. That gullibility is being exploited to disarm
our fellow Americans, get them to accept immoral behavior as good and get them
to allow government control over activities they would not normally allow.
We
do live in a society where the people are free to accept whatever behavior they
choose and permit more government control in their lives if they so choose. This writer accepts that as a given. However my problem is when science is used
fraudulently to manipulate them into decisions based on misleading
information. And that is what this
writer sees going on and why he writes about it.
