At Engenius, we try to stay focused on learning, and politics only comes up in subjects like History, Gov, Poli Sci, etc.

It rarely comes up in Math or Science.

But sometimes, it's tough to ignore the negative influence that a nefarious government has on academia

It's not politics... it's agenda

This is why we say there can be no science-as-usual now. This passage is from Peter Drucker’s essay in the Atlantic about the crossroads that science stood at during Nazism. Science doesn’t just need funding — it needs the fundamental freedoms that come with democracy. Freedom of speech.

THERE IS NO SCIENCE-AS-USUAL UNDER AUTHORITARIANISM. "​The new Nazi commissar wasted no time on the amenities. He immediately announced that Jews would be forbidden to enter university premises and would be dismissed without salary on March 15; this was something no one had thought possible despite the Nazis' loud anti-Semitism. Then he launched into a tirade of abuse, filth, and four-letter words such as had been heard rarely even in the barracks and never before in academia. He pointed his finger at one department chairman after another and said, "You either do what I tell you or we'll put you into a concentration camp." There was silence when he finished; everybody waited for the distinguished biochemist-physiologist. The great liberal got up, cleared his throat, and said, "Very interesting, Mr. Commissar, and in some respects very illuminating; but one point I didn't get too clearly. Will there be more money for research in physiology?" ​The meeting broke up shortly thereafter with the commissar assuring the scholars that indeed there would be plenty of money for "racially pure science." A few of the professors had the courage to walk out with their Jewish colleagues, but most kept a safe distance from these men who only a few hours earlier had been their close friends. I went out sick unto death—and I knew that I was going to leave Germany within forty-eight hours." ​SOURCE: PETER DRUCKER FOR THE ATLANTIC, "THE MONSTER AND THE LAMB" ​SCIENCE NEEDS DEMOCRACY.
