Today, I want to talk about something that, at first glance, looks like a routine university course offering. But somehow, it ends up tangled in a much bigger fight. A fight over science, education, and who knowledge is supposed to be for.

IMAGE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. swam in Washington, D.C.'s Rock Creek, a waterway known to be contaminated with high levels of bacteria and fecal matter from sewer runoff, despite explicit warnings from the National Park Service (NPS). Swimming in D.C. waterways has been banned for over 50 years due to the health risks.
Kennedy currently serves as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
