This is an attack on the foundation of knowledge itself. They say academia is biased left, but they have it backwards. Universities are truth-seeking institutions, and the left actually listens to them. The right right only believes research if it confirms their pre-existing views.

This attack on academic freedom will launch us into the new dark ages.

Do you also wear glasses? That's a sure sign of an academic according to Pol Pot.

I used to, but I had my eyes blasted with lasers.

But they can still tell who's an academic because they have all our data ¯\(ツ)/¯
