There isn't any evidence against James Webb. This is just left-wing hysteria gone off the deep end., See "The controversy continues about naming the Webb Space Telescope; the woke won’t give up in the face of the facts" (https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2022/12/20/the-controversy-continues-about-naming-the-webb-space-telescope-for-the-woke-wont-give-up-in-the-face-of-the-facts/). Quotes

"This article in a recent New York Times tells a sad tale of the vindictiveness of scientific ideologues and their determination to gain control over science by flaunting their own victim status, as well as by blatantly ignoring the truth. It involves the naming of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) over the objections of people who asserted, wrongly, that Webb was a homophobe who fired gay people from NASA and the government (he was administrator of the organization from 1961-1968, and before that the Undersecretary of State from 1949 to 1952)."

and

"Hakeem Oluseyi, who is now the president of the National Society of Black Physicists, was sympathetic to these critics. Then he delved into archives and talked to historians and wrote a carefully sourced essay in Medium in 2021 that laid out his surprising findings.

“I can say conclusively,” Dr. Oluseyi wrote, “that there is zero evidence that Webb is guilty of the allegations against him.”

That, he figured, would be that. He was wrong."
