Episode notes

I'm personally very pro-choice, but I just don't think it's the organization's job to be. To say, taking a pro-life position is just beyond the pale, that strikes me as too far. But if it's a live debated moral issue where there are conservative legal scholars or philosophers who make pro-life arguments, they're not invalid. It doesn't matter what your political leanings are; you should still stand up for women and people of color in any way you can. You shouldn't have to defend them from their right to abortion on every single occasion. The more we learn about each other, the better off our society will be. We'll all benefit

A VBW exclusive report! For years David and Tamler have been a little dismissive of fears about cancel culture in academia but now the SJWs have come for one of our own! We welcome back Yoel Inbar to talk about his experience applying for a position at UCLA psychology only to have his candidacy pulled at the last minute because of remarks he made on his podcast (!) about diversity statements. What does this mean for freedom of expression in academia? Should we advise our students and younger faculty to watch what they say when it comes to politically charged topics? Are they really going to start combing through podcast episodes now – is nothing sacred?

Plus another case of fraud in psychology comes to light courtesy of the Data Colada guys.
