5. Do you suppose the Republicans have heard of Lysenkoism?
As a cold-war era science student Lysenkoism was regularly thrown in our faces as an excellent example of science gone wrong in the service of communist politicians. Everytime a course got into genetics, Lysenko was dragged out and flogged. And because of the central nature of genetics to my studies that was frequent.
With Lysenko his misdirection fed ideological issue. With the current US misdirection of science it seems it's all about the Republican's favorite issue, profits.
