To clarify, you are quoting from Monica McLemore's article which the linked article is criticizing. In John McWhorter's recent book, "Woke Racism", McWhorter argues that people like McLemore are adherents of a new religion (he means this in a literal, sociological way) which he calls "The Elect". The Elect's word for "heresy" is "problematic". McLemore ends with a call to action "So how do we engage with the problematic work of scientists whose legacy is complicated? I would suggest three strategies..." and goes on to recommend 1) "Truth and reconciliation", which sounds like all gatekeepers need to be members of The Elect 2) "diversifying the scientific workforce", phenotype is important, I guess 3) "new methods", which really sound like a set of new rules The Elect wish to impose Sounds like an inquisition.
