Academic Freedom - the latest campaign from our pals on the right
News flash from Kansas - the birthplace of the movement to teach creationism.

The latest trick from the ignorant anti Science fools is academic freedom. They believe that making it a law will allow them to teach creationism. And technically they are correct. So if you hear about a movement in your state to make academic freedom a law, it's probably the talibornagains promoting it. Do all you can to fight it.

Words cannot describe how much I despise these people.

4. This old chestnut
When repugs feel beaten down, they badger the universities and whine that they aren't welcome to spew their insanity on campus.
