Apparently John Lewis (the pretty cool history prof) got booted from AU. Officially, he resigned. But the school denied him tenure due to his publications and scholarly interest in objectivism (that Ayn Rand stuff) because, they said, that interest (being atheistic) goes against the school's "judeo-christian values." So I guess silencing academinc speech isn't just for the more liberal side.
That school isn't getting any of my damn money. Ever.
