Some elements of the Bush Administration have been known to withdraw fundings from science research groups whose conclusions contradict the Administration's claims in environmental issues. A recent one is when fundings were withdrawed from a group that have found that salvage logging hinders a burnt forest's recovery.
It doesn't really make any sense to offer the actions of the
Bush Administration as an example of suppression that
isn't involved with religion.
Harvard president got canned after remarking that perhaps the reason so fewer females are in the fields of science than males is because of the differences in brain physiology... or something like that.
Not exactly.
Firstly? Not canned. He resigned by his own choice, against the wishes of a considerably supportive administration, I might add.
Secondly? That happened
months after his remarks. Months, during which he embroiled himself in a lot more serious kerfluffles, none of which had anything to do with his remarks at the lunch.
