    Science at the @EPA is again shown the door -- this time with the unexplained dismissal of the pediatric and epidemiology expert leading its Office of Children's Health:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/26/climate/epa-etzel-children-health-program.html …

        Why does the EPA have an Office of Children's Health?

        My guess would be because children are especially vulnerable to toxic environmental exposures that could negatively affect their healthy development.

        Seems to me like that is the sort of thing that the Department of Health and Human Services is tasked with, and the mission of the EPA should be limited to environmental protections. But, I suppose you're right, all agencies should be allowed to creep in every direction.

        Why do Republicans hate Americans? I honestly dont get it. It’s bizarre and frightening. Aren’t there some scientists who are Republicans who stand up to this?

        Autocratic regimes must control what people think in order to survive. Knowledge, facts, objective thinking, these are their enemies. This will only get worse until this Administration is gone from office.

        They didn't give a reason. For admin leave, usually there is cause. Because its an SES position and if she's been there since 2015, she has served her probationary period. If they were getting rid of the office, they could have just moved her to another position. Very strange

        Obviously. If you’re going to roll back environmental rules for mercury, asbestos, arsenic, and lead, you don’t want anyone pointing out the harm to children. Argh. I hope someone is keeping a list of all the things we will have to fix soon.

        The dismissal is unexplained, which is not unusual, and you jump to a conclusion that it is anti-science? It MIGHT be for naughty behavior. 🤔
