A sculpture of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, founder of the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University, which was recently defunded by state legislators, 75 years after he became world-famous on publishing that White American men say one thing but do another sexually. Current legislators recycled the same claims about Kinsey aimed at him four generations ago to signal their purported virtue to current voters. Scientific findings, crude as they were in 1948, can be pesky things. (Arleigh Rogers/AP)
