I was in an English course with a professor who was *very* liberal (around 2006). We were doing group projects and ours was about anthropogenic climate change. I decided to take the dissenting view that climate change is not man-made. You would have thought I kicked this professor's cat right in the balls. He actually handed out a two page "example" of how he wanted the assignment done.   His example paper was all about how he had a neighbor who used a leaf blower instead of a rake. And how a rake is just as effective but didn't pollute the environment. He handed out over 50 copies of his "example", and eventually came around to our group. So I asked him if he had used a typewriter to type out every one of those papers or had he used a computer and printer? His eyes got wider than Sasha Grey's asshole.

/r/science is a joke and has been for a long time. I'm not sure how or when science became so political. Real scientists should do something about this problem but then they wouldn't get funding from the government and when they get private financing they will be called shills.
