“Genetic differences in human life are a scientific fact”
@kph3k explains why controlling for known genetic influences [in education] is necessary and allows us to see the true effects of environmental interventions. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/24/opinion/dna-nature-genetics-education.html …
But genetically informative studies have shown that the true effects of environmental interventions have been consistently disappointing for more than 50 years, and are often null. That's why 'progressives' are panicking.

Still the best way to test for them. Better to get null results than to waste money on false positives.

You need to be careful though - there is an asymmetry. Not many willing to go out to bat for "there are no good interventions at all" - and the fact there are lots of bad ways of doing something does not mean there are no good. Also our ability to intervene changes over time!

I've thought before that the analogy is climate change for the right. Solving it involves big government so they persist in denying it. I don't think genetics of IQ is quite the same, but I know I wish it wasn't as genetically determined as it is.
