re: California school science project that connected race and IQ is pulled after complaints

Again, as I said before, I don't take editorialized statments from media sources literally.

I've seen too many flat out wrong or misleading things said. You have played a game of telephone?

But lets hit it logically.....

Actually no.

Let's not. I'll just point out your blinders.

If it was ONLY banned on subject matter, it would have been banned the first day.

After complaints from students, parents and faculty, the project was removed from the science fair on Wednesday,

Soooooo.

After management seeing the subject matter for days, and nothing nothing, it is only after something else happening (complaints) that something is done.

So obviously, it wasn't ONLY banned on subject matter. It was something else that occurred.

If you want to narrow the focus, a defensible statement would be "It was ONLY banned on PR matters."

If that's what he meant, then he was rather lazy in multiple places expressing that point.

So essentially, with your attempts at high brow language, your underlying premise is not applicable and therefore not valid.

You yourself cited evidence verifying my condensed sequence of events.

1)It was not banned when admin saw the subject matter
2)Time passed
3)With other considerations emerged, it was banned ("after complaints")
4) Therefore, acting like it was banned when management first saw the topic is false.

you can criticize the methods or critique/disagree with the results but you cannot argue that this studies nothing

Certainly you can. Science fairs are projects which display the application of the scientific method to a hypothesis to reach a conclusion and present additional questions which require additional research. Saying I went on the internet and got people to self report their race and take some kind of internet test, therefore from that we can conclude that people with different skin pigmentation have lower intelligence, is not science.

Not yet

Sometimes my fingers can't keep up with the dialogue in my head.

Holy frick wut? Damn man. Just throw in the towel.

You can supply not one quote from the stories that is ANYTHING other than subject matter related.

Here ya go. I'll use your stupid logic. It was VISUALLY shitty from the start. They didn't do anything until cokmplaints.......ABOUT CONTENT and ONLY content.

What you meant to write but chose not to is

It was not banned when admin saw the subject matter AND the presentation.

So. Why'd it get banned Volvagia? Come on. You can say it. It's right there on the tip of your tongue.

Your ego will allow it. I promise.

Speaking of strawmen........

quote:

do you understand what "you can criticize the methods" means?

---

If it doesn’t accurately employ the scientific method it isn’t science. How can you admit that it isn’t scientific but say it has a place in a science fair?

all sorts of projects in that fair likely had issues with the scientific method, because that's what you get graded on. the entire point is to try to do as best as you can with the SM to achieve a result and then present it at the fair

you're criticizing the methods, which i said is fine

however, i was responding to you claiming this wasn't "studying anything," which is false. this was trying to study something (race and IQ and how that corresponds to the population-demos of the school). it didn't do the most scientific manner of studying it, but it did study something (And something worth studying, for reasons discussed in this thread, primarily in pages 3-4)

Seeing how Democrats are the “party of science”. I’m sure they’ve fully embraced this kid and his project, right?

I thought liberals loved science.

Of about 500 students, there are a dozen African-Americans, 80 Latino students and about 100 Asian-American students, according to data from the school district that was obtained by the outlet. The program has reportedly been criticized for its lack of racial and ethnic diversity.


So, out of 500 students, almost 40% are non-white, but this program isn't diverse enough?

this program GO BACK AND READ AND SEE IF YOU OBSERVE A PROGRAM BEGINNING WITH LETTER H.
