Leftist ideology was embedded in “scientific integrity” initiatives during the Biden administration, according to documents recently unearthed by a government watchdog group.
Protect The Public’s Trust (PPT) received documents that show how former President Joe Biden’s 2021 memorandum on “scientific integrity” was guided by a report or “framework” promoting diversity, equity inclusion and accessibility (DEIA). The memo, titled “Restoring Trust in Government Through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-Based Policymaking,” was to be implemented based on the 2022 “Framework for Federal Scientific Integrity Policy and Practice,” according to the documents.
The framework states that promoting DEIA is “equally important” as scientific integrity policies among researchers.
“Once again we find more evidence that the Biden administration’s commitment to science was not nearly as strong as its commitment to its politics,” PPT Director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Science must help us discover all the truths of the natural world. That is simply not possible when it is hemmed in by political fads.
