Let's just hope that they keep their heads buried in the sand long enough that their ignorance and oppression of education comes up and bites their ass off, like when the children and young adults they're trying to educate brainwash wake up and realize they're full of fossilized dinosaur crap.

This is just disgusting. Clearly it's meant simply to intimidate the university into not--oh, how do I put this?--harboring atheists. (And nevermind the atheist Oklahomans in and out of that school.) I hope the university and the students stand up to the state legislature.

I hope the university and the students stand up to the state legislature. Harboring Atheists...ugh it sounds like harboring terrorists or something. These people have their fucking priorities mixed up. I'm sure there are faaaaar more worse things to worry about than Dawkins speaking on Evolution. Then again, it's the Fundies...they spend their whole lives worrying about teh gayz and teh Evolushions.

Good god, hasn't this state embarrassed me enough? Am I really an island of sanity in a sea of stupid?

You know what? Fuck Oklahoma. There, I said it. I never get speakers like that on my campus, and I wish we could get Richard Dawkins (though my Freshman year we got Tariq Ali, and that was pretty badass).

I once thought us Texans were inbred bible-thumping redneck morons, then I met some Oklahomans.

Oh God. They get Dawkins, Vermont gets Stein? How unfair is that? Come on, they live in Oklahoma. Dawkins is the least they could get for compensation.

Yeah, but they're probably going to burn him at the stake next time to appease their God.
OTOH, we're probably gonna burn Stein, just for comparing us to Nazis.

I once thought us Texans were inbred bible-thumping redneck morons, then I met some Oklahomans. I'll have you know, I am not inbred.
