Viewpoint diversity for the sake of more resilient and realistic research, with less self-congratulatory groupthink.
Conservative taxpayers & politicians will stop supporting social sciences & humanities if these fields don't increase their viewpoint diversity.

Conservative views are not represented in biological research either (e.g Creationism). Should all research include conservative views regardless of objective truths?
