In my senior seminar class I have a week (next week) on science and politics. I've assigned (our own) Lilienfeld's excellent article on the Rind et al debacle and the APA's response (refs below). I'd like to draw on other cases on when (psychological) science and politics collide. Do any of you have suggestions for videos, readings, or websites about other examples. For example, there are current politicians who keep websites of "studies that shouldn't funded because they seem stupid to me"? Any leads on that? Any sources for which controversial topics (on gays, drugs, etc.) are currently difficult to get federal funding for? Etc.
