(Before It's News)

Emory University Department of Psychology Professor Scott Lilienfeld had better already have tenure. Looks like he has wandered off the reservation:

After reviewing many studies on the topic, Dr. Lilienfeld argues in his paper “Microaggressions: Strong Claims, Inadequate Evidence” that microaggressions lack scientific proof, and therefore should not be included in workplace or campus diversity training. …

“The scientific status of the microaggression research program is far too preliminary to warrant its dissemination to real-world contexts,” he writes in his 2017 scholarly article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science.

True enough for real-world contexts, but what about the contexts of college campuses and ultra-P.C. corporate environments?
