Putting aside the fact that she comes off sounding like a nut, someone should steer this poor woman toward rateyourstudents so she can see she's not alone.

ETA: I found a blog (by a Czech superstring theorist, no less) which included a quote from her on what she learned in grad school:

"In graduate school, I was inculcated in the tenets of a field known as science studies, which teaches that scientific knowledge has suspect access to truth and that science is motivated by politics and human interest. This is known as social constructivism and is the reigning mantra in science studies, which considers historical and sociological understandings of science. From the vantage point of social constructivism, scientific facts are not discovered but rather created within a social framework. In other words, scientific facts do not correspond to a natural reality but conform to a social construct."

BWHAHAHAHA!!
