From the front page of the gender studies program site at Barnard College, a place where DEI apparently does not include Jews. Is it any wonder that they set up a task force on anti-Semitism. I'd be wary of sending my kids there or to Columbia if I were Jewish. bit.ly/3Xr80h6

Is theology, defined by the OED shown here, of any use? I see it as having anthropological and sociological value, but it cannot tell us anything about the nature or actions of god, mainly because we have no evidence for gods.

I read this paper; not only is the sample size small and the methods unreliable, but the control group lived in Lebanon for a century instead of having moved there in the last few decades. Science did NOT get this paper properly reviewed; it's not evidence for the persistence of epigenetic change.
