Don’t worry that rescinding science in favor of indigenous wisdom will leave employees of science museums with nothing to do. Staff can occupy themselves sniffing out thoughtcrime. London’s Science Museum even managed to discover homophobia in Legos:
Lego can be anti-gay because some people describe the bricks as having male or female parts which ‘mate’ with each other, Science Museum staff have claimed.
Suggesting however obliquely that male and female parts would be used to mate is described as “heteronormative” — i.e., thoughtcrime.
This was revealed to museum patrons during a tour entitled Seeing Things Queerly.
The tour was devised by a ‘gender and sexuality network’ at the museum which is a group of ‘staff and volunteers committed to creating more visibility and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community in the Science Museum Group’s museums and collection’.
Seriously, that’s what they do with their time.
Taxpayer money bestowed upon these clowns could not be more shamefully wasted if it were spent by USAID — and yes, the museum is publicly funded.
It comes after Lego pledged in 2011 to remove what it claimed was gender bias in its toys, saying it wanted to tackle the problem of ‘age-old stereotypes that label activities as only being suitable for one specific gender’.
Yet again we see that no amount of corporate pandering to political correctness will ever be enough.
