Bigoted academia upset that Trump won’t allow them to push the racist DEI agenda

Cue the world’s smallest violin! An article today in the journal Science proves once again that science has nothing to do with what that journal now publishes. The headline:
‘This is censorship.’ Conference requires abstracts to comply with Trump anti-DEI order
It seems scientists submitting abstracts to the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Texas are upset because the Trump administration will not allow any papers to include any mention of diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) as a topic.
The Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC), hosted annually by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Texas, last week announced a new requirement for the upcoming 2026 conference: All submitted abstracts must comply with executive orders from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. His 20 January executive order called DEI “illegal and immoral discrimination programs” and terminated both federal DEI programs as well as grant funding for DEI initiatives. The conference policy follows moves earlier this year by LPI’s parent organization, the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), to scrub DEI-related content—including archived LPSC abstracts—from its websites.
Researchers are fuming, saying LPSC is doubling down on its previous decisions, and prioritizing avoiding trouble with the government over intellectual freedom. “This is censorship,” says planetary scientist Paul Byrne of Washington University in St. Louis. “Even if the percentage of people who would normally write a DEI abstract is small, a much larger percent are pissed off.”
In other words, the science community wants to support DEI racial discrimination, because it is designed to favor the racial and sexual groups they favor. To them it is more important to infuse these bigoted ideas into all science, rather than actually report real research about the solar system and planets.
Even though USRA has complied with the Trump order, it has done so superficially, archiving the scrubbed papers so they can be “restored” the instant a Democrat takes power again and re-institutes DEI policies and racial quotas across the board.
Meanwhile, even as Science screams “censorship!” in this article, it has also been quite comfortable publishing an op-ed in June [pdf] advocating a boycott of the LPSC conference and demanding a new annual conference be established that will allow this focus on LGBTQ+ issues to be expanded throughout planetary research.
In other words, who cares about actual research? It is far more important to push political ideology and racial and sexual quotas across all science, even though such quotas are expressly illegal according to the 1964 Civil Rights Act as well as numerous other subsequent city, state, and federal laws.

plan, still available on line here [pdf].
The bottom line is that DEI is all about promoting bigotry, and nothing else, as shown by the graphic to the right, taken from the Biden-era NASA Equity Plan [pdf] that is still available on line. It outlines the agency’s agenda under Biden to institute racial and sexual hiring quotas in great detail. For example, NASA set aside $2.3 billion to award contracts and grants expressly to minorities, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community. It also absurdly demanded an “Equity in Climate Data Accessibility and Environmental Justice” program to make sure climate research adhered to DEI and the queer agenda.
That Trump is trying to cleanse science of this political garbage is wonderful news. That the so-called science journal Science and the science community wants this political garbage tells us they no longer follow the scientific method and its unvarnished search for the truth.
Nope. To hell with research and discovering truth! We gotta help those minority communities, no matter what! And if it means we discriminate based on race, gender, and sexual preference, so be it!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
They are just painting a bigger bullseye on all things space.
It does seem to indicate that those getting grant money are doing very little important science otherwise none of this would matter to them.
If you support the DIE agenda, your ability do work in a scientific field is in question.

Activist judges have DEI mandates that supersede the law and the constitution. They feel it’s within their purview as judges to correct the actions by the president and others. Constantly throwing up roadblocks to any actions rightly inacted.
In Utah and other states, the judges are preventing redistricting saying not equitable and unfair, some re-drawing the boundaries themselves ignoring the ones drawn by the legislature.
I laughed out loud when a judge tried to force President Trump during the government closure to fully fund the food stamps… As if he held the purse strings of the country! He simply said that’s the job of the Democrats who would not re-open the country…
They took it on the nose hard just to get past the elections to “appear” that they are standing strong.
DEI judges, political movements above the law. Because they believe it’s the right thing to do regardless who gets hurt, or what damage is done because destroying the system is the point.
In terms of academia—this will cause a stir
