It does sound like you want to cut funding for genetics research that could tie genes to intelligence, performance, and stuff like that. Is that not the case? Because picking which science should be funded based on your preferred social order is not science, it's politics. It's the same as conservatives cancelling weather satellites so that they don't have to see the climate data being produced so that they have an easier time continuing to deny climate change.
Science is about learning things. How or whether those learnings should be applied is a question of politics. Blanket-censoring entire fields of research for political reasons is not the answer to anything.
You talk about how you don't want extreme race-based policy, but at the same time the only injustice you're contemplating on correcting is based on race. I don't hear any calls to pay reparations for any past injustices that were based on non-racial issues, not from you, not from "the left" in general.
