Hartle refused the donation. Only when the Superintendent of Oregon State Parks tried to acquire the land, did public opinion force a shift of the Washington State administration which finally agreed to a state park in 1935.

It continued massively during the Covid pandemic and the perceived curtailing of &#8220;freedom&#8221; with mask mandates, public closures, social distancing and vaccination requirements. These days the anti-science sentiment has reached a fever pitch, not just nationally. It&#8217;s going <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/the-antiscience-movement-is-escalating-going-global-and-killing-thousands\/\">global<\/a> risking hundreds of thousands of lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of it, alas, has to do with religion. The evangelical hard right claims that science is not only anathema to faith, but actively trying to undermine it. It can&#8217;t be trusted (Science is a hoax! Just look at how it changes its finding all the time!). Worse, it is a secular tool to lure people away from the &#8220;right&#8221; Christian path.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_0031-1.jpg?w=890&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68053\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are additional factors at work, though. One, if you are a member of a group (or a child raised there)  that has certain attitudes, you will adopt them for group cohesion and a sense of belonging. And secondly, it is always hard to engage with some new facts or insights that very much contradict your current thinking. (True for all of us.) That is particularly true for people who were raised with or have personalities favoring rigid belief systems rather than flexible openness to the new and different. In other words, it&#8217;s hard to get scientific information to stick when it raises the possibility of conflict within a person&#8217;s assumptions about the world as it is and SHOULD be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the more so, when you think of your world as a hierarchical system where you perceive &#8220;elites&#8221; associated with science\/scientists as looking down on you or pulling the wool over your eyes. If the world is perceived to be a ladder, not only does it help your sense of worth mistreating those on rungs beneath you. Just think how great it&#8217;ll make you feel if you can punish those who you assume are above, ready to stomp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC_0001.jpg?w=890&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68054\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s burn it all down.
