Several people involved in higher education chimed in and commented that his approach was absolutely unacceptable. It was recently brought to my attention that this professor has now resigned as a direct result of his bigotry. Apparently two Muslim students were particularly offended and interrupted his class repeatedly, finally storming out while one allegedly made a veiled threat to the class. A police report was filed, but one of the students who stormed out sent an email to the school and the students documenting the teacher's bigotry elsewhere on the internet. The school began to come down on the teacher rather than the students, and he resigned. I cover the details on my blog, here.
Now, I am of a divided opinion on this. On the one hand, the material that Mak documented is indeed quite bigoted; provided that the accounts are accurate, the prof. probably did deserve to be canned. On the other hand, there is something very off-putting about the reaction of Maklelan and his crew of MDD posters. Morgan.Deane, it seems, actually went out of his way to contact human resources at the college where this guy teaches. To this, Maklelan responded:

This is vaguely reminiscent of John Tvedtnes's attempts to interfere in Thomas Murphy's tenure process, though clearly the "offenses" of the targets were vastly different. The point seems to be that, if you dare to upset the Mopologists, they will come after you in real life.
