Guillermo Gonzalez, Privileged Planet astronomer and longtime target of atheist materialists, has been denied tenure. Fact sheet folllows.
Update:
For some background on the Gonzalez case (I will update more later), visit Bipod at Telic Thoughts:
So let’s get this straight. Hector Avalos, an atheist at Iowa State University, is leading a crusade of Scientific McCarthyism against Guillermo Gonzalez. The stated reason by Avalos: “”We certainly don’t want to give the impression to the public that intelligent design is what we do.” Now Avalos and the other 120 signers of the document will deny that they’re doing anything inappropriate, but let’s be serious. This is Scientific McCarthyism in a cheap tuxedo;-)
“Mr. Avalos said the statement was not intended to silence Mr. Gonzalez, or to get him fired…”
Sure. Then why single him out?
To respectfully protest this decision:
Dr. Gregory L. Geoffroy
President, Iowa State University

It is barely conceivable that the Iowans have shame, even if “evolutionary psychology” has not discovered it yet. Heck, if I were a contributor to their alumni fund, I would be overwhelmed with shame.
Now back to the fact sheet:ÂÂ
 Here is a fact sheet I have just received:
