Helphinstine, 27, said in a phone interview with
The Bulletin newspaper of Bend that he included
the supplemental material to teach students about
bias in sources, and his only agenda was to teach
critical thinking.

No sarcasm. He's an individual. I wish him well
in life and kudos for giving this a good try.

Looks like Mr. Helphinstine will have plenty of time on his hands for "critical thinking."

Critical thinking is not a part of the new science. He is lucky they did not behead him for blasphemy. Route memorization of bland facts is the key to modern science. Which is why American schools test so poorly against Europe now.
