WTF story of the day: #DePaul $University in #Chicago has dismissed Professor Anne d’Aquino for assigning her students to explore the impact of "genocide in Gaza" on human health.
The University administration cited "objections from some students" who felt that introducing politics into a science class was inappropriate and considered the material "outside the scope" of the course.
@faab64@palestine@israel Wasn't the world's first man-made nuclear pile created at Univ of Chicago by Enrico Fermi? And now the students and administration say politics is outside the scope of science?
As much as these chuckleheads need science education, they need history education even more.
