There was a recent comment from the UM-Morris that the majority of the contacts to the university have been against Myers. ...YA' THINK???

Freedom of speech, my eye.
When university supporters begin to excercise their freedom of closing their wallets, watch how swiftly those codes of conduct kick into play.
I wonder if all these articles have been sent to the powers that be at UMM? I have been wondering how the Catholic Students (and their parents) at UMM have reacted? Will they take his classes now? Maybe we will find out when school starts again.

There is much anti-Catholic hatred in the world. I firmly believe that P.Z. has instigated much of the recent 'copy-cat' attacks. For instance, one can find many ant-Catholic video clips on the web now.
I suggest everyone who is shocked by an educator and professor acting in the way that P.Z. Myers did - contact the UMM and stop all financial support.
I wonder what's taking so darn long.
Does anyone have a theory as to why the university refuses to cut Myers loose?
I'm thinking, 'lawsuit.' Not to mention unspoken agreement with him.
Quite the conspiracy theorist you are, Anonymous. Yes, the university does have an agreement with Myers. It's not unspoken, though. It's called a contract. Breaking those does tend to result in lawsuits.
