That’s why they call universities “woke”. Because they teach the truth.

I once seen someone post on his Snapchat story angry that his college professor had a lecture about evolution. 😐

Anyways I graduated with my major in Sociology and am a conservative (past leftist). I’m not religious and I can concur that universities are woke as fuck

You all act like people can’t think differently than you! Maybe there is some value in people thinking differently too. And what does that have to do with taking science as a core class?

Because we’re not actually anti science and despite being religious we believe that the science is just the understanding of God’s creation

I don’t trust the Covid vaccine 100% but I am fully confident in other more proven vaccines. Masks were important in the beginning but as time went on they were increasingly unnecessary. I think climate change is real and an important issue but at the same time is politicized and exaggerated at times.

#3 represents the majority of republicans in my opinion. There are many educated republican that agree with everything you said but the media gives the spotlight to the idiots that are only in the party because they like trump.

I hate to say it as a research biologist, but #3 isn’t saying anything crazy based on what I expect from the general populace. I am a very firm leftist, I think the research very strongly backs the covid vaccine, but nothing was too out of pocket, you gotta understand that the average person is just hearing things that people tell them to do, rather than reading the actual relevant papers

This isn’t to say I agree, but I’ve seen liberals talk the same way. I don’t think is this that crazy as long as you get vaccinated and stay respectful of people’s boundaries and also their first comment was completely ok I can’t believe they were downvoted for saying a lot of republicans view science as God’s creation. You are really just buying in to what our media says about how conservatives view science and religions. Those in power are simply trying to put us outside of the top % against

Saying you’re not “anti science” then saying you believe that god is science is anti science. No biologist believes that god is science, because that impossible and stupid as fuck

That’s definitely not true, and in fact in my experience that’s how a lot of religious people reconcile their faith with natural laws. They believe that God set all of the natural laws into motion. This way of thinking doesn’t contradict evolution or any generally held beliefs about the formation of the universe, our solar system, earth, etc

I’m not saying as a biologist you can’t be religious. I’m saying that you can’t believe god is science as a biologist. You can’t believe that he made everything by a Rib and that he parted the Red Sea. You have to believe in evolution and science and understand the Bible is metaphoric

You can think differently without going against the entire basis of research for the past 100 years. Some things are factual and science, especially well researched topics, are factual in basis. Conservative views for the most part lack basis in fact but rather are hypothetical in nature.

Vaccines, climate change (you don’t just get to exclude it; it is indeed another example), tariffs deny economic research, covid denial, all of qanon (and yet there IS a pedophile in the White House, but that one somehow isn’t of concern to conservatives), I mean come on

Vaccines, trans rights, gay rights, the refusal to believe Trump is a felon, “protect children” except when it’s hundreds dying in school shootings then it’s “nothing can be done”, the genocide in Palestine, Trump disregarding the constitution and peoples constitutional right to due process, ICE deporting US citizens, ICE targeting people based on skin color

I’m going to generalize since each conservative will have varying views. Pro-life yet doesn’t want increased aid for poor families. Doesn’t want free childcare. Doesn’t want increased gun laws when they are proven to work. Economically conservatives have fucked us since Reagan. The lack of acceptance anything science/medical related
