Surely all of the research will pick right back up once they finish finding and removing the woke. As far as we know right now it could be hiding anywhere. Better to nuke the United State's scientific and academic communities from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Remember, every criticism levied by the fascists is actually only a problem to them when their team isn't getting to do it.)
