What is the evidence? Is there a Z chromosome?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Staddon was informed of his removal in an email from the presidential trio of the APA division, who said they had received complaints against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe division leadership has received complaints about some of the posts that you have sent to the division listserv,\u201d wrote Jonathon Crystal, a provost and professor of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University-Bloomington. \u201cI do not want to get into the particulars of the range of complaints over the years, but I will note that a number of members of the executive committee and others have voiced concerns publicly on the listserv in an attempt to make you aware of how readers of the list might view some of the posts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe executive committee views the use of the division listserv as a privilege and has voted to remove you from the listserv. I am writing to inform you that your email address has been removed from the listserv,\u201d Crystal added.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal also referred Staddon to the division\u2019s code of conduct policy, which was adopted in 2019 and states:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p><em>Treat everyone with respect and consideration. It is acceptable in a scientific organization and at scientific meetings for members to have strong differences of opinion or different theoretical perspectives on aspects of psychological science. However, those differences and disagreements can be conveyed in ways that do not make other people feel threatened, demeaned, discriminated against, or harassed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That policy, the Fix noted, also states that members of the listserv must \u201cRecognize that attendees will be at different points in their respective careers, and that it is important to support student and early career attendees, even in cases where you may have differences of opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Staddon responded to Crystal by saying he had \u201cnever insulted anyone; no ad hominem criticism (unlike those to whom you are responding\u2014rather cravenly, I must add),\u201d though he admitted he \u201cmay have been a bit flippant on occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is sad that an audience of supposed scientists is unable to take any dissenting view, such as the suggestion that there really are only two sexes. Incredible! I don\u2019t mind having one less distraction, but I think you should really be concerned at Div 6\u2019s unwillingness to tolerate divergent views,\u201d Staddon wrote in his response.<\/p>\n<p>Staddon published the two on the National Association of Scholars website under the headline, \u201cCancel Culture in the Sciences: A Case Study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Staddon told the Fix in an email that \u201cThis incident just illustrates the current inability of some scientific communities to tolerate dissent about issues related to sex and race,\u201d adding that \u201cPsychology and sociology seem to be especially flawed in this respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
