Nobel Chemistry Prize winner Joachim Frank says:
 | 
 | In the first days after the inauguration, the Federal
 | officers of the National Science Foundation were directed
 | to scan 55,000 grant proposals for the mention of the word
 | "diversity". Evidently, "diversity" is a word with generic
 | meaning in the English language. A grant proposal might
 | contain the phrases "diversity of protein structures" or
 | "diversity of opinions in the literature."  But that is
 | tolerable diversity, while the objective of this hunt is to
 | find references to fostering and protecting the bad kind,
 | the ethnic and gender diversity among humans, and the
 | diversity in color of their skin.
 | 
 | This official censorship, unparalleled in the history of
 | the United States, betrays a magical belief in the power of
 | words.  But, beyond censorship, we are reminded of
 | classical witch trials, in which the use of a single word,
 | sign, or gesture is construed as "evidence" in a
 | life-or-death decision. Now the mere mention of efforts to
 | ensure workplace diversity may disqualify scientific
 | research from funding and even ruin a career.  We hear
 | echoes of "Nineteen Eighty Four" and "Fahrenheit 451".
 | 
 | Let us here celebrate the word "diversity" in its many
 | diverse forms, in as many languages (about 200) as are
 | listed in Google Translate. This is, mind you, just one
 | quarter of the number of languages spoken on the streets in
 | New York City, by people with all skin colors, genders, and
 | beliefs who make this city, and America as a whole, such an
 | exciting place.

Did these same people have issues with removing terms like "men"
"women" etc?

    https://www.artsprofessional.co.uk/news/us-shows-featuring-black-and-lgbtq-artists-cancelled-following-trump-orders

    A US cultural venue based in Washington has cancelled two shows – one
    featuring queer artists, and one featuring Black artists – to comply with
    orders from President Donald Trump not to use government funding for
    diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

    The Washington Post reports that the Art Museum of the Americas, a cultural
    venue run by the Organization of American States (OAS), notified
    participants earlier this month that the shows had been pulled.

    One of the cancelled shows – Before the Americas – was developed to track
    the influence of the transatlantic slave trade and African diaspora across
    multiple generations of modern and contemporary artists, featuring works by
    African American as well as Afro-Latino and Caribbean artists.

    The other show – Nature’s Wild With Andil Gosine — was based on the a 2021
    book by the Canadian artist about queer theory and colonial law in the
    Caribbean. It had been scheduled to open 21 March and featured works by a
    12 artists, many of them queer people of colour and most of them Canadian.

    The OAS is international, funded by more than 30 member countries across
    the Americas, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada and the United States. In
    2018, the general budget of OAS was $85m of which the US contributed $50m
    (58.8%).

    The cancellations come after Trump, on his first day back in office on 20
    January, signed an executive order titled “Ending Radical And Wasteful
    Government DEI Programs And Preferencing,”

    “NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA”, the US president
    wrote on his website Truth Social.

   Trump dismissed vaccinations 
until HE got Covid. 

    Nancy Reagan dismissed embryonic
cell technology until HER husband 
got Alzheimers. 

    Why is it conservatives dismiss
science until advancing it becomes 
in THEIR self interest?

Most rightists worldwide believe that science is too political so it 
belongs in the hands of politicans and not scientists.

Now that  everybody trusts the government again we will listen carefully to 
all the new science advice they proffer.

garbage  articles previously?

What does this have to do with Trump?

AND 


now for what you snipped:

"Inama said she was told by administrators on Feb. 3 that her signs
“don’t allow people to express differing opinions, that it is
controversial in today’s political environment.” She initially removed
them, but then had a change of heart. In emails shared by the district
with the Idaho Statesman, Marcus Myers, the district’s chief academic
officer, told Inama to remove the signs because they violated Idaho’s
Dignity and Nondiscrimination in Public Education Act, as well as
school policy, which requires signs to be “content neutral and
conducive to a positive learning environment.”
