Revoke James Watson's Presidential Medal of Freedom

Created by B.G. on July 16, 2015

James Watson and Francis Crick, otherwise known as Watson&Crick, are often been falsely considered the people who discovered the structure of DNA. However, this is a severe misunderstanding of the events as they happened, and anyone who does basic research into the topic will come to the conclusion that Watson&Crick were actually just thieves. Rosalind Franklin was the true scientist who determined the structure of DNA - Watson&Crick stole her hard work, and despite being the one who actually discovered the structure of DNA through her usage of x-ray crystallography, she is swept to the side and the fanfare is around Watson&Crick, despite the fact that they were nothing but thieves. This is why I petition the Obama administration to revoke James Watson's presidential medal of freedom.
