Journal retracts paper skeptical of ‘white power’ in psychology, says it conflicts with ‘values’– www.thecollegefix.com

Scholars deride move as censorship, threat to academic discourse

A New Zealand psychology journal recently retracted a paper questioning claims about science being a tool of “white power,” stating that it was “inconsistent” with the publication’s “values,” according to a former journal editor.

Now, the editors of the Journal of the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists are facing criticism from scholars across the globe.

Dr. Kumari Valentine, a psychologist and former editor of the journal, raised concerns about the retraction in an article Saturday on the substack Psychology at the Crossroads.
