\More pseudo-science from the right: repeats the lie: ' Children Raised by Openly Homosexual Parents More Likely to Eangage in Homosexuality.'
Those who claim to be the 'religious' right are circulating more pseudo-science in the form of an article claiming "Pro-Homosexual Researchers Conceal Findings: Children Raised by Openly Homosexual Parents More Likely to Eangage in Homosexuality.
The author, " Licensed Psychologist" Trayce L. Hansen, Ph.D. was not based on her own research nor was her work published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. Instead, her analysis of research by other scientists represents another step in the far right#s campaign to blur the distinction between real science and the kind practiced by this self-styled "cultural commentator."
Ms. Hansen has a perfect right to state her views but to suggest her analysis is a valid scientific study is misleading at best and an outright lie at worst. Her repeated efforts to blur the distinction between personal opinion and peer-reviewed science suggest her training at the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego was somewhat lacking in its instruction of scientific methodology.
Ms. Hansen does not teach at an accredited institution of higher learning nor does she hold any positron at a major research institution. She did not conduct any field work but only misinterpreted existing studies and placed her "findings" on her web site. She has a private practice and claims also to have a forensic practice.
Few of us would be foolish enough to go to a Hospital emergency room which used treatments that had not been tested and assessed by peer review. Yet the far right wants us to believe "Pro-Homosexual Researchers Conceal Findings: Children Raised by Openly Homosexual Parents More Likely to Engage in Homosexuality." Someone ought to revoke her license for deliberately misleading the public. In fact, her conclusions are refuted by the peer reviewed studies she struggles to misinterpret.
This is pure pseudo-science. If Ms.only Hansen and her like were willing to go to pseudo-doctors who use pseudo-science in their treatment, we would soon have proof of Drawin's evolutionary theory of survival of the fittest.
