Ohio scholar reports bias against 'Darwin doubters'

Jerry Bergman is a mild-mannered, soft-spoken, and balding college professor, author, and member of Mensa - a group of people whose IQs are in the top 2 percent of the population.

(Sigh)

Unfortunately, his credentials are just a little less grand than advertised in this newspaper.

So, he is a member of Mensa. So am I. I bet there are a lot of people in Mensa.

What in the world does one persons beliefs have to do with another persons?

His book is apparently, since I haven't read it, a long whine about how a small group of people -- starting with Jerry Bergman himself, blame their own failures on prejudice and discrimination ... yet have no actual evidnece to back it up. I bet Guillermo Gonzales, formerly of ISU, and Nathanial Abraham, formerly of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute are prominently on display. Funny how failure to meet the requirements of tenure (Gonzales) and failure to do the work you were hired to do (Abraham) probably won't be mentioned.

I wonder if Bergman will mention how each of them (Bergman, Gonzales, and Abraham) had availed themselves of the appeal process and so far have failed.

I wonder if he talked to John Freshwater of Mount Vernon Ohio who not only got caught for teaching Creationism/Intelligent Design, but for burning a cross into student's arms.

On second thought I doubt Bergman has much new to say. If I see it around the Library I might read it ...but I certainly won't be paying any money for it.

Bah! They will let any forshak lapping yIntagh into MENSA these days! I had never made a better choice in my life by turning them down.

BTW, you make your brain teaser books too easy!
