So I'm a bigot for saying I agree that students should be able to explain the fundamental theoretical underpinnings of biology in order to get a letter of recommendation from a biology professor.

BTW, how can you "truthfully and forthrightly affirm" a scientific answer that you yourself call 'theoretical'? Don't you see the contradiction? Anybody who can "truthfully and forthrightly affirm" a scientific theory which is undergoing changes is a liar. Nobody knows the answer, so how can you affirm it?

This complaint against Dini is interesting:

Those are his requirements for giving a student a letter of personal reccommendation.

Doesn't he have a right to decide what criteria to us in such personal things?

If he were to say he'd only give personal letters to Dallas Cowboy's fans, wouldn't that be well within his rights?

Are you actually suggesting he should give a personal letter of reccommendation to someone he feels does not understand something he believes is important?
