When politics guides academia, this is what happens. You'll note that the article mentions the increasingly-fascistic Canada has tried and succeeded at silencing skeptics and that the architect who did the latest research chose to use a pseudonym.

"Other academics who have raised questions about the Kamloops graves have been cancelled and targeted by the media."
Doesn't sound like the objective pursuit of the truth.
Not doing advocacy. Not speaking truth to power. Also, it's not about making sure every viewpoint is heard. This is where Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff get it wrong. Encouraging dissent is essential, but that's different than trying to air every viewpoint. I call that the Wisconsin Public Radio Approach. WPR hosts will say something to the effect of "All viewpoints are welcome here" and then they implement it. What results are moonbats on both sides of the political spectrum weighing in on COVID being a hoax or, in past years, 9/11 being an inside job, created by Bush and Cheney. I don't think views like those add at all to the pursuit of truth. An obvious problem today in academia is that many academics themselves subscribe to moonbat hypotheses and conclusions: gender insanity, "systemic __________," green doomsday prophecies, racial essentialism, et cetera.
…she/he says that every meeting begins with 20 minutes of “we owe everything to the native americans that we raped and pillaged ….he/she is not conservative but sees the stupidity of the far Left….says the PC crap is out of control there wrt to the native tribes and it became severe after this story.
My message has been the same all along, and I'm confident the tribes think the same way: If you really feel bad about using "stolen land," then give it back, otherwise you're saying, "Gee, I'm sorry for stealing your property and all, but I'm just going to go ahead and keep using it without you."
Listened to the list of tribes who lived along the ole St Joe last September.
Acknowledge them and momentarily weep for them, but keep them at a fair distance.
This is something that could keep you occupied for a little while - Some it might be funny
I realize it doesn't rise to the level of taking issue with one of your movie picks, but really? This has been a huge story in Canada and a big story here?
I have plenty to do. I'll be finishing off a trail later today. What are you doing, binge-watching a new Netflix TV show? Time well spent!
How do you think people should respond to the academics and others who perpetrated this hoax?
jump into spellingbee - after that a quick 3 mile run in the park then off to pitch in a late afternoon softball tourney.
Some good competition there.
After that, dinner with my gal and then ... !
As for the article - It didn't strike me as something I'm interested in.
Can't wait for the next installment of the 1/6 hearings. Fur is gonna fly - well maybe not but
yeah, no binging netflix.
You?
