A friend of mine had a good analogy for the situation. Requiring a student 
to have a basic knowledge of the theory of evolution, and at least 
acceptance of the theory is a good idea. To give a student who absolutely 
does not give any credence in a theory which forms one of the backbones of 
paleontology is like giving a reccomendation to an astronomy student who 
thinks the sun revolves around the Earth.

(Never have I seen it said that he refused to give a reccomendation to a 
student who believed in both evolution and a small part of creationism, 
though I could be wrong.)

Yes, the piece in Townhall.com was indeed biased.   But I thought you might 
like to see another view of all of this.   Know thy enemy!   Or friend, as 
the case may be.
