Both my parents, several of my siblings, my husband and I, our children and currently our grandchildren are attendees or UI graduates. I have held the UI with great affection, appreciation, and respect. That was then and this is now. How did it happen that a search committee at the supposed flagship of Idaho education, hired avowed Creationist and Senior Fellow of Natural History at New Saint Andrews College, Gordon Wilson. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Wilson, is the youngest brother of Moscow’s most embarrassing citizen, Doug Wilson. Lest you remind me that we can’t be blamed for our siblings – and God knows some of my siblings are eternally grateful for that (as, frankly, so am I) please be clear, as an Elder in Christ Church, Gordon has remained silent in matters that call into serious question (as it does indeed for all Christ Church Elders) his own moral and intellectual integrity. Reflect on what, if any role, you (the reader) would take in supporting the arranged marriage of serial pedophile, Steven Sitler and his NSA educated bride Katie Travis Silter. I assure you, the issue would have come before the elders. Would you would remain silent (thus assenting) to the contents of Doug’s s plagiarized and racist piece of crap <i>Southern Slavery As It Was</i>. Gordon did both. (The long list of egregious Doug Wilson bad judgments and miscellaneous moral, if not illegal, crimes is much longer but I will give it a temporary rest for your sake.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It is true that the first blogger appears to think that Gordon wrote SSAIW but since it was a product of the Christ Church literary ministry, Canon Press, he certainly had an part active role in the publication.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/03/19/if-you-wont-pay-people-what-theyre-worth-youll-get-people-worth-what-you-pay/">http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/03/19/if-you-wont-pay-people-what-theyre-worth-youll-get-people-worth-what-you-pay/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The second blogger has a keen eye on the University of Idaho and correctly (I am sure) associated Dr. Scott Minnich, a fellow church member of the Wilson’s, with the hire. He also exposes Gordon’s lack of qualifications for the position according to the job requirements.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://nothinginbiology.org/2014/02/26/the-gold-star-creationist/">http://nothinginbiology.org/2014/02/26/the-gold-star-creationist/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Consequently, I’m looking forward to an offer from New St. Andrews for a contract to teach feminist theory (which I am not qualified to do but in Kirk World that has never been an issue ) or , better yet, a year-long investigation of Howard Zinn which I shall call “<i>A Thoughtful and Accurate Perspective on American History</i>.” I could manage those lectures with too much trouble. Maybe Doug would hire me to teach a course on the king of jackasses, Rousas John Rushdonney – I am at least as qualified to do that as Gordon is to teach micro. I am incandescent about this hire. If you share my anger (your tax dollars and all that jazz) please contact Dr. Chuck Staben at <a href="mailto:president@uidaho.edu">president@uidaho.edu</a> this hire does not represent a worthy or worthwhile (even if temporary) addition to the faculty.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rose Huskey<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
