Suing won’t accomplish much, especially since a liberal judge will not be sympathetic.

As a rule, the most you can get out of a tenure dispute lawsuit is a year’s salary, but not reinstatement, because university’s are presumed to know what is best for them in the academic line.

That said, this case is really atrocious. Not only has he published a lot of ground-breaking, widely recognized work, he doesn’t push Intelligent Design in his classes—unlike his critics, who I am sure push Darwinism down their students’ throats and fail any student who objects.

Darwinists simply cannot permit any slightest questioning of their beliefs.

But he can get publicity. That’s worth much more than a year’s salary.

“Darwinists simply cannot permit any slightest questioning of their beliefs.”

I’ve noticed that of many people on both the creationist and evolutionist sides of this issue.

Before you ask, I’m on the “waiting for enough information to make an informed decision” side.

Maybe he could do what Michael Moore would do and make a movie to showcase these cretins to the world for what they are.

I wish the article had presented the other side of the story so we can at least understand the rationalization. More, the reporter offers no reference to state constitutional, statutory, or university regulations which might control.
