Established in 1953, the Humanist of the Year Award is conferred annually by the American Humanist Association (AHA), recognizing the awardee as an exemplar of humanist values. Communication of scientific concepts to the public is an important aspect of advancing the cause of humanism. Richard Dawkins was honored in 1996 by the AHA as Humanist of the Year for his significant contributions in this area.
Regrettably, Richard Dawkins has over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups, an approach antithetical to humanist values. His latest statement implies that the identities of transgender individuals are fraudulent, while also simultaneously attacking Black identity as one that can be assumed when convenient. His subsequent attempts at clarification are inadequate and convey neither sensitivity nor sincerity.
Consequently, the AHA Board has concluded that Richard Dawkins is no longer deserving of being honored by the AHA, and has voted to withdraw, effective immediately, the 1996 Humanist of the Year award.
first it was the nobel prize giving the prize to a war monger now they even take away awards just so they can burn their books
The liberal faggots giveth, and the liberal faggots taketh away. Damned be the names of the liberal faggots.
There should be a law that these pissant little groups can't give awards, then at a later date decide to take them away.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Dawkins showed even the slightest degree of common sense, but I suppose he's on the path to awakening from his long, liberal sleep.
Trust the science! But only our Science!
