Cornell Faculty says Republican Colleagues are Anti-Science

Oh, that’s a fair statement about Republican academics *sarcasm*:

“It is not surprising that faculty at Cornell find the anti-scientific rhetoric of many in the Republican Party to be troublesome,” Prof. Kenneth McClane, English, said. “Many of us here are scientists — we believe in global warming, since we believe what the research tells us.”

“I think many mainstream Republicans have views that are anti-intellectual and anti-science,” [Government Prof. Richard Bensel] said. “There are candidates who are creationists, don’t believe in climate change and claim that Obama’s a Muslim. Ted Cruz, for example, should not teach here.”
