[Vision2020] Doug Jones

[J Ford]

Get real!  And grow up!

And get the letter removed - NOW!

J  ;)

P.S. We all realize you are not community minded folks, but this one time 
definately calls for you to be and you need to remove the letter.  It is bad 
enough you all have been publishing false information about the candidates, 
but this is getting ridiculous and needs to stop.

>>Letter to the University of Idaho Faculty, Staff and Students:

>>Because I’m on a roll here, I write to articulate the University of 
>>Idaho's position with respect to the solar system:  The fact that the sun 
>>revolves around the earth is the only curriculum that is appropriate to be 
>>taught in the scientific sciences.  As the President of this University, 
>>it is within my administrative capacity to issue statements like this that 
>>restrict the academic freedom of the faculty and students.
>>
>>At the University of Idaho, teaching of views that differ from 
>>geocentricity may occur in faculty-approved curricula in religion, 
>>sociology, philosophy, culinary arts, adult education and other fields 
>>that don’t bring in grant money.  However, teaching of heliocentric views 
>>is inappropriate if there is a possibility that students might become 
>>scientifically skeptical of the dominant paradigm.
>>
>>The University respects the attempts of individuals to hold personal 
>>religious and philosophical beliefs, so long as these beliefs are not 
>>faith-based, since the University of Idaho only believes in science.
>>
>>The University of Idaho's position is consistent with views articulated by 
>>respected astronomers for thousands of years. Recent initiatives to 
>>dispute this scientific fact may not be discussed in any University 
>>facility, not even WinCo.
