I voted the book should be pulled from the shelves. What does it tell us about this group other than academic integrity is so low down on the list of objectives that my vote is outnumbered 87% to 13%.

Clintoon's book will be published by Alfred Knopf Publishing.
Knopf is 13th Century German for incredibly stupid buyer of other peoples garbage. Knopf is a very old publishing house best known for such early classics as
How to Enjoy The Inquisition by Father Torquemada
You Get My Point? by Vlad the Impaler
Guillotine Maintenance and Repair by Citizen Robespierre
Three of their more recent offerings are PeeWee Hermans Movie Guide, Gary Condits Guide to Picking Up Chicks and Compared to Us, Ponzi Was a Freakin Choirboy co-authored by Gary Winnick, Ken Lay and Terry McAuliffe.

I think there should be an annual Bellesiles award given to the worst junk science piece of propaganda published in any given year. With any luck, the recipient's career will end immediately upon receipt of the award.
Let's make Bellesiles a poster child for everything that is wrong with the contemporary Soviet Socialist Intellectual Elite that have corrupted and destroyed honest, necessary debate in almost every public arena.
Best regards
