Cofnas at it again

Then they throw out the old canard that race can’t be real because humans share 99.9 percent of their DNA.

Then, out of the blue, van Leeuwen released a statement announcing his resignation:

After 25 years at the journal, I am resigning as editor of Philosophical Psychology. The reason is the imminent publication of a commentary bypassing editor moderation.
