Have you ever been to college? The classroom is where learning and discussions are done. We, the students, are not there to be spoon-fed whatever wild hair-brain thoughts a professor might have. We, the students, have a right and a responsibility to challenge the lies that are being taught, even by the so-called 'elite professors'. Back to this course, the purpose of this course that was to be taught is stated by this professor in the original post of this thread: Mirecki recently posted an e-mail on a student organization forum in which he referred to religious conservatives as "fundies" and said a course depicting intelligent design as mythology would be a "nice slap in their big fat face. This guy is just looking for a fight.

If you call a student 'a disruptor' who disagrees with a professor because he is teaching nothing but lies, then I would gladly wear that label. I would have been courteous but firm in my discussions. I would not let this professor get away with spreading his lies. Too many times, these liberal professors get away with filling the minds up of impressionable students without so much of a peep from the students. Well, I read this professor's challenge from his comment that I posted, and I would gladly accept it. to be a part of his class and discussions. I would not fear getting tossed, nor being told to shut up. It is obvious that this guy has an agenda.

[From many - one.]

Your post spent a lot of words repeating your prior points.

Unfortunately, you failed to respond to my post other than to question my credentials.

Not only have I taught in college, I taught a specific class in biology for non-science majors.

When the creationism issue came up (only once in a serious way) I explained that the student was in my class to learn what scientists thought. There was no problem since the student involved could see my point. We did have a few interesting after class discussions.
