What a nightmare age we live in!
If Galileo’s physics contradicted the church, he had to recant. Anyone criticizing Lysenko’s fake science would be arrested by the KGB.
Today’s liberal fascism is doing to science what the church and the KGB did. Disgusting!

So if we don't like or agree with the results of a valid study, let's eradicate it? Sounds authoritarian to me.

My wife and I, our children's therapist and a teacher at a group they attend have all seen this. Last year none of our children's friends were LGBT this year several are. The therapist and the teacher said the same thing, Group think.

Don't bury scientific studies because you disagree with their findings.

This issue should be addressed and studies like this need to heard. This silencing due to pressure from special interests needs to end now.

LGBTQIA+ advocacy efforts to "normalize" unnatural sexuality harms children. Ideally,
minors would not be confronted with issues until majority. Sexual consent, sexual identity, alcohol, pot, voting, making contracts, aborting, and other issues are appropriately not KIDS!SO

Post Constitution era and this is what we get as a society. Obama unleashed all of this. What is the suicide rate of people who have transitioned. It is mental illness blessed by the Democratic Party.

When identity politics and/or societal outcry is enough to persuade the scientific community from publishing research studies and their conclusions, science as we once knew it (the strive to discover truth) is on its deathbed.

Brown's statement that the school still affirms "the importance of academic freedom and the value of rigorous debate informed by research" is meaningless, given what they've done.

You shouldn't try to hide science you disagree with, you should use what it tells you to move forward.

This has been building for quite a few years. My daughter succumbed to this social pressure during her senior year in a Massachusetts high school over ten years ago. Serious intervention was required to save her.

No one should be afraid to study science and this is important in today's age. Confused teenagers and children are being made into something they aren't. We need these studies to help these confused children.
