Oh, The Humanities (and Social Sciences) Bias

Federalist

Conservative students enter college with higher SAT scores and GPAs than liberal students, but by the fourth year of college have lower GPAs than liberal peers, which may be a consequence of institutional bias, finds a new working paper from the University of Arkansas.

  1. I object to the appellation
    ” Social Sciences ”

    There is nothing really scientific
    about them at all
    BUT

    The weak attempt to quantify, correlate,
    semi-identify, and calculate in a very
    subjective manner
    (Although they insist they’re being objective)

    To produce a form of “Reasoned Argument ”
    in the abstract

    Which supposedly is derived logically
    But is ALWAYS politically biased.

    refer to : GHE, AGW, Climate Change, etc.
