A sign of America’s silly infatuation with group equality is the ease with which scholars can get themselves published by producing research that purports to show some “unfair” statistical gap. That’s often done in STEM, where the difference between the numbers of men and women produces lots of low-hanging fruit for professors.

In this Minding the Campus essay, John Rosenberg looks at some shaky studies in this vein. Then he does something really nasty — he includes research that demonstrates just how pathetic the shaky ones are. It’s fun reading.

We should amend that old saying, “Those who can’t do, teach” to “Those who can’t do STEM, whine about the unfairness of STEM.”
