An unasked question: Why would a creationist student ask for a letter of recommendation from an evolutionist teacher in the first place? It's like a pacifist asking a letter from the ROTC instructor.

Because a letter of recommendation is supposed to be based on the students scholarly abilities instead of his religious beliefs. It is obvious this student found out about the policy after he joined the class.

The student wants to be a doctor and biology is one of the required letters of recommendation. This supposed educator had already screwed up this potential doctor's career by his narrow minded dogma, and now is unhappy that he is nationally famous as a Christian basher. He has NO reason to withhold his recommendation for qualified applicants. The college should be taken to task for taking money from Christian pre-med students. One thing I missed though, is the Theory of Evolution the only aspect of biology anymore?
