Creationist Professor Accused of Forcing Religion on Students
History professor Emerson McMullen of Georgia Southern University is being accused of pushing his creationist and Christian religious views on students, often awarding extra credit to students whose views agree with his own. Notable atheist Richard Dawkins is leading the calls for an investigation into the professor’s academic conduct.
This type of thing is abhorrent, but where is the outcry when nearly every liberal professor tries to push his or her political or anti-religious views on students?

As a former professor of Biology for over 40 years I agree that no one should be pushing creationism in any classes. However, I also feel strongly that no one should be pushing leftist propaganda in any other classes. Punishing this guy for his views is only appropriate if you punish the progressive professors for the garbage they teach in classes which have nothing to do with politics.
