The University of Vermont is a National Embarrassment
Well, Groovy UV (in honor of Peter Freyne) has made national headlines this week, only not in a good way.
PZ has a post about their boneheaded choice of commencement speaker. Have you heard already? It's Nixon chum and creationism apologist Ben Stein.
As PZ says, picture being a biology professor and sitting there while ths quizmaster and right-wing Republican gives the big sendoff to the graduates of Vermont's flagship institution of higher learning.
What are they failing to see? Wasn't anyone from the Flat Earth Society available?
