2021-07-26 08:40:36 +0000 UTCMy comment is about the email Steve quoted where SGU was accused of government propaganda. That criticism is not fair. You have been an “equal opportunity” critic of anti-science, e.g., anti-nuclear (left) and climate denialism (right). HOWEVER, during the pandemic, it seems to me that you have reserved your criticism for the right. I know that Trump presented an incredibly target rich environment. And I understand that you have to pick your battles when venturing into discussions that touch politics. Still, as a resident of a blue bubble where the local school officials and unions grossly politicized, unnecessarily delayed, and emphatically *did not* follow science when it came to school reopening, I would have appreciated if SGU scratched that itch for me 😆
