        @sapinker Love this. Btw, my problem is not with Christianity (or non-leftists), but with ANY instructor using academia to teach pseudosci.

        @rjcc (Whether or not his job is actually at risk [doubtful], if it were, having other jobs he could go to would not make it less unjust.)

        @comex by pretending that saying this could get him fired, he's already auditioning for a new job.

        @sapinker it's a great article, but this claim seems suspect: "Christians have stopped entering academia in significant numbers." Data?
