Wikipedia should be taken with a huge grain of salt when it comes to even slightly controversial topics.

Are you suggesting that Haidt is in fact an expert on youth mental health? What do you base this conclusion on? Him having written a bestseller?

While you are right that Wikipedia can be biased, I'm surprised you bring this up in this context.

It's not hard to objectively evaluate a professors research expertise. You look at the scientific papers they have authored.

That's about as far from a bias-prone topic as it gets. I get maths is even less prone to political bias.
