It's academic

K.U. withdraws 'intelligent design' course.

I don't think they should have withdrawn it; instead K.U. should have gotten someone else to teach the course.

Still, there will be a second class on 'intelligent design' as a pseudo-science:

In addition to intelligent design, the class Archaeological Myths and Realities will cover such topics as UFOs, crop circles, extrasensory perception and the ancient pyramids.

I am confident the professor who will be teaching this second class will do so fairly and is a bit more careful about his email.
