Serious question: does your field of evolutionary psychology need more “ideological diversity”? Do evo psych departments suffer from not having blank-slatists among your ranks?
There are no ev psych departments; there are only tiny clusters of 1-3 ev psych faculty working within much larger psychology depts (usually 15-50 faculty), where we're almost always greatly outnumbered by blank-slaters.

Ok, details aside -- is it important that there are blank-slaters in the psych depts? Is that valuable "idealogical diversity" or should the university filter for ideas actually supported by logic and evidence?

I don't think blank-slaters add much IMHO, but I wouldn't want to exclude them on ideological grounds. We should just hire the best researchers and teachers based on the best available metrics. Do that, and I think we'll automatically get a decent amount of ideological diversity.
