A few years ago I went back to school, after a 20 plus year hiatus.
I was required to pass a number of Science Courses in order to achieve my personal goals.
Perhaps it is limited to Massachusetts, but I can assure you that some Professors are teaching a lot more than just Science out there.
I learned a lot more than just about the Krebs Cycle, or the Golgi Apparatus.
I learned that Ronald Reagan was responsible for the lack of AIDs research funding and that he was personally responsible for the deaths of thousands. A lot more than Science is being promulgated in those liberal enclaves.
What is going on in Colleges & Universities around the nation is an atrocity.
Based on my understanding, which is limited since I was born 1981 and haven't given much attention to HIV/AIDS history, President Reagan did drag his feet on acknowledging HIV/AIDS.
That inaction may have indirectly delayed scientific research (via Federal funding).
However, I wouldn't hold President Reagan personally responsible for any of those deaths. The science - again, based on my limited knowledge of the subject - was still evolving then.
It sounds like the professor in question should have been told to tone down his rhetoric.
