'''Politicized science''' is considered a problem by people on all parts of the [[political spectrum]], yet they can rarely agree on whether a particular scientific issue has become politicized. All parties to the dispute agree that when political power, as of a government or church, is used to prevent scientific matters from being investigated or discussed objectively, this constitutes politicization. Even scientific bodies have been known to suppress results or theories which contradict the scientific mainstream.
What needs to happen and what happens are often entirely different. It's common for there to be a disconnect between a leading theory and the evidence.
