Should scientific research on race and IQ be banned?


   John Horgan, writing in the Scientific American believes such research should be banned!  John Horgan writes: "But research on race and intelligence—no matter what its conclusions are—seems to me to have no redeeming value."  Horgan is wrong.  Here is why.  Government policies of affirmative action preferences and privileges for Blacks and Hispanics are all based on the assumption that all groups are equally gifted in all fields, including intelligence.  Since Blacks and Hispanics cannot pass the same tests that require intelligence, government demands quotas to give them a percentage of jobs, university posts, CEO positions, close to their percentage of the population.
    What if the government policies and assumptions are based on a lie?  Science can search and discover.  Science has never found all the races of equal intelligence.  So affirmative action in fields of intelligence is unscientific, unrealistic, and discriminatory against whites and Asians who, as groups, are more intelligent.
   Equal opportunity does not mean giving special privileges to Blacks and Hispanics so the outcome will  end with an equal result.
   Science can expose the fallacies of government and its unfair, unjust policies - denying equal opportunity to better qualified whites and Asians because of a false theory that all races are equal in all fields.  Science proves the lie of the government policies.  Science can undermine the propaganda of the adademedia complex that reinforces the lie and the liberal policies to expand it.  Science shows the liberals have created a skyscraper of privilege for some (the pets of the elite) and oppression for (others, poor whites and Asians); a liberal tower built on sand and lies.  The sooner it crumbles, the better.  Let science expose the lies and the oppression.  The government, and the liberals, are the real bullies.

  1. Have you seen "The Myth of American Meritocracy"? Excellent analysis shows that Asians and white gentiles of high academic potential are greatly under-represented in the Ivy League schools.
