[Ichneumon]

I'm not arguing that evolution be taught against. I'm asking why throw a fit for a professor to hold a class about the theories that creationists have. Even assuming they are not valid they seem important for someone to know.

If that had been what she had actually been doing, I don't believe they *would* have "thrown a fit". Thus I doubt it's what she *was* actually doing.

The author of this article doesn't tell us if the woman taught an opinion one way or the other about the theories. The assumption is made that just because she uses "critical thinking" in title the point of the course was to trash evolution.

No, the assumption being made is that if she was given hell for what she was doing (and that much *is* clear from the article), there's probably a good reason.

How wonderfully scientific of you and the rest of the posters who automatically KNOW what happened. If you folks who make assumptions without facts or observations (much like the person who did the firing) are the only folks responsible for keeping the scientific method alive, we are in big trouble.

I'm not a creationist but I would sure be skeptical of some evolution scientists if this was the only example of critical thinking I was exposed to.
