From childhood abandonment ... to celebrated scholar ... to being "canceled" by Harvard. Now he's back, and challenging the odds again.
Quite a guy! Glad it worked out as it should.
Jim,
Thank you for writing this powerful story.
It is a cautionary tale of vital importance
and relevance to all our lives.
I am in awe of Roland Fryer's courageous devotion to truth
and his ultimate triumph over those who canceled him for it.
He shows us how to withstand the misuse of power
wielded by politics against science.
In my field, psychology, politics has taken over.
If I were still in clinical practice,
I would lose my license for my promulgating scientific theories
that refute progressive orthodoxy.
But to quote Galileo: "Nevertheless, it moves."
Nice job, JG. Thanks!
