According the Inside Higher Ed today:
A professor of
religious studies at the University of Kansas has apologized for online comments he made about religious
fundamentalists. Paul Mirecki, the chair of religious studies, made the
comments to a listserv about a new course he has created about intelligent
design.“The fundies want it all taught in a science class, but this will be a
nice slap in their big fat face by teaching it as a religious studies class
under the category ‘mythology,’” he wrote in the message, which created a political stir in Kansas after it became public. In his
apology, Mirecki called his message “ill-advised.” He added: “There is no
place for impertinence and name calling in a serious academic class. My words
in the e-mail do not represent my teaching philosophy or the style I use in
class.”
