The authors of the Yale study sincerely see themselves as heralds of empirical science, whatever the political ramifications.

What does the empirical research tell us about the comparative outcomes of charter schools versus public schools?

Academic researchers are supposed to pursue the truth, and budding autocrats recognize that empirical truth can present a threat to their authority.

Here, again, empirical evidence contradicts so-called common sense.

It strikes me that the "liberal" harms you cite as are well grounded in empirical reality, while the conservative harms are less so.
