The Quinn dispute also highlights an ongoing dilemma for Utah's public colleges and universities: how to promote free inquiry and academic freedom without disparaging or advocating the LDS church, which is uniquely tied to Utah history.

That is a problem in Utah. Both national senators have always been Mormons, and so have the Representatives. In Utah, it's the easiest way to go. Try moving into small town Utah and see how fast your Jewish tail is proselyted.

D. Michael Quinn, a Yale-educated author and excommunicated Mormon

I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for a guy who gets excommunicated by the Mormon Church and then applies for a job at the University of Utah. He did that just to poke them in the eyes.

I know they don't teach common sense at Yale, but the guy is supposed to have that by the time he gets there. You don't tug on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't piss off the Mormons to the point that they excommunicate you, and then expect to be welcome in Utah.

Sane people are just supposed to know these things.
