The War on Science (inbunden, eng)

An unparalleled group of prominent scholars from wide-ranging disciplines detail ongoing efforts to impose ideological restrictions on science and scholarship throughout western society.

From assaults on merit-based hiring to the policing of language and replacing well-established, disciplinary scholarship by ideological mantras, current science and scholarship is under threat throughout western institutions.

As detailed by this group of prominent scholars – who range across many different disciplines and political leanings – the very future of free inquiry and scientific progress is at risk.

Many who have spoken up against this threat have lost their positions, and a climate of fear has arisen that strikes at the heart of modern education and research.

Banding together to finally speak out, this brave and unprecedented group of scholars issues a clarion call for change.
