I have never met Don Easterbrook. I write not so much to defend him as to expose the ignorance exhibited in the letter authored by WWU geology faculty. Their attack on Dr. Easterbrook is the most egregious example of pedantic buffoonery since the Pigeon League conspired against Galileo in the seventeenth century. Skepticism is essential to science. But the goal of the geology faculty at WWU seems to be to suppress critical inquiry and insist on dogmatic adherence to ideology.

Say, that reminds me of the 88 Duke University professors who demanded expulsion of the lacrosse players wrongly accused of rape. As ever with liberals, factual evidence didn't matter - only ideology. The ends justifies the means; just ask any leftist.

FYI - en.wikipedia.org (See the departments most signatories belonged to.)
