Of course, part of the issue here is whether he really is doing as the news report claims. The press is often rather careless about such things as accuracy when there's a great headline at stake, and they like nothing more than to provoke knee-jerk outrage and moral froth about some nonsense.
I can't count the number of times I've seen the yellow press report things like 'Professor to teach that Elvis gave birth to a dog', only to find that they're teaching something about urban legends, of which the King's canine parturition is just an example. Frankly I wouldn't get into a froth about a story like this until I'd looked behind the press report. And even then I probably wouldn't get into a froth about it. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Tom C > Sent: 25 July 2006 21:44 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Talk about crap > > I agree totally.
