From your article: "Now a Justice Department statement says that while biology students can be expected to understand and explain evolution, 'a state-run university has no business telling students what they should or should not believe in.' Liberty Legal attorney Hiram Sasser says the professor has since changed his criteria. 'Professor Dini decided to relent and change his policy to where he now no longer requires a student to believe that evolution is true nor to get a letter of recommendation,' Sasser explains. 'In response to that, the Department of Justice has dropped their investigation, and Dini's no longer in violation of the Constitution.'"

Your spin (and frankly the spin of the article) makes it sound like there was some kind of Justice Department ruling. Read the article carefully. The Justice Dept. issued a rather innocuous "statement", and Sasser "explained" that Dini "decided to relent." Like I said earlier, it appears that Dini caved in to a bunch of whiny liberals disquised as conservatives and voluntarily changed his criteria (if only slightly). There was no governmental mandate that he do so.

I still find this offensive. And your apparently new-found faith in the power of the government to coerce speech and "re-educate" this professor is disturbing. You should be very careful in this. Next time, it will be a "re-education" that you don't care for.

You should. Your side practices it by enforcing a materialistic world view on the public.

And your apparently new-found faith in the power of the government to coerce speech and "re-educate" this professor is disturbing.

Does it bother you that the power of the government to coerce speech and re-educate by prohibiting criticism of your precious fairy tale bother you? I thought not.

You should be very careful in this. Next time, it will be a "re-education" that you don't care for.

Well then, we ought not support the government in curbing any crime, because next time they may come after us. Makes realllllll good sense.
