    UW-Madison Provost:"CONTROL YOUR INTEREST IN PUBLICITY FOR YOUR IDEAS"

    Nowhere in this blog-piece does Ann Althouse address the obvious: What is the standard for teaching in academia?

    The nutcase conspiracy theories running out of the hallowed ivy are beginning to rival, in credibility and logic, those reviled fundamental preachers baptists who insist in literal six-day creationism and the world being 6000 years old.

    This guy is unfit.. but for the University to tell him to 'just shut up' because he's embarassing them?

    It's worth either firing him or forcing him out... but, if UW-M are going to keep him and let him poison minds with this crap, dont tell him to 'lower your profile' hoping it will all go away.
    Dump him or back him...He's either your guy or he isnt.

    And look what I just ran across on Youtube..Barrett, himself

    If he DOES actually present all scenarios, as well as allow debate on it.. he's in the minority.
