This may be a matter of free speech. If the students don't follow what he teaches then he can't very well recommend them, can he? If the situation were reversed I wouldn't expect the Creationist to recommend a student who didn't believe.

I hate to say this but you obviously are not very well educated on the issue of evolution vs. creationism.

Typical leftist mind-control thinking. Education is not indoctrination. If this teacher taught the students well, they should be well-versed and able to articulate each position. It's not about whether a student "believes" one or the other, it's about whether that student understands the subject matter.

There is a difference between "knowldge/understanding" and "personal beliefs". A person is perfectly capable of understanding the Theory of Evolution, and at the same time, not believe in it.

If the students have demonstrated and understanding and knowledge on the subject, then their peronal beliefs should be moot to the professor.
