It is not a political opinion but a scientific one coming out of the lab. It becomes political once out.
The lab was justified in correcting the record in 2007. An apology and a paragraph about the Flynn effect and the effects of environmental factors like malnutrition and infectious diseases on brain development, was sufficient.
Did he get fired in 2007 or just removed as as chancellor?
Recent comments may still affect the lab if they are seen as having honored someone publishing unsubstantiated opinions. One problem is the remaining ambiguity of such research.

Yes of course that's what I mean. Because they are hurting people's incomes and frequently even engage in physical violence. That's censorship, it's not same as voicing disagreement.
Fortwaynemobile saysI think that left is very crazy about policing speech
You mean censorship.
Free speech doesn't imply that no public shaming will take place based on what people say.

It's interesting. They can't cut your electric, water, or phones for an opinion, but can for your tweets. They can even deplatform you from the entire internet.
We already know there was a 19th Century Robber Baron style Blacklist in Silly Con Valley, yet no real punishment, by lawsuit or by regulators.
workplaces should not fire people for politics of any kind. Deplatforming and/or kicking someone or a company off of email services, payment services, etc... these are the tools of tyranny that the left is cheering on.

This thread is interesting in the light of COVID.
Very much like Galileo when faced with the hostility of the Catholic Church for suggesting that the earth moves around the sun: E pur si muove

True, we have a new religion around the toxxine.
There are believers and there are heretics, and the heretics are getting burned at the stake even though they are right. Or precisely because they are right and this exposes the horrible malfeasance of almost all current governments around the world. They can't allow that.
