Your tone is quite disrespectful. Is this really necessary? Maybe not, but what you're saying still doesn't make sense. There are lots of things trying to influence our actions, and the academe is one of the least of them. What's more, it is necessary to have robust inquiry into anything and everything. It can be argued what should and should not be the purview of government, but you're trying to say that anything government shouldn't be involved with, also should be left alone by academia? That's ridiculous. Oops, sorry to be disrespectful there. But what you're saying is some kind of weird paranoid lunacy.
