Bat Sex Gets University Instructor Sanctioned

No, this is not about bestiality. This is about sexual repression and political correctness undermining academic freedom.

OK, it's also about bat fellatio.

It starts with a peer-reviewed, scientific article on a common subject of research: sex among non-human mammals. PZ Myers explains:

I have just done something very wicked. I have compared human sexual behavior with that of another animal, describing work published in a serious scientific journal. I could get fired for that! If you were to show this story to co-workers and discuss the implications, you also could get condemned and sanctioned. We're in trouble now!

You may find that hard to believe, but it's true in at least one case: Dylan Evans, at University College Cork, in an argument about the uniqueness of human behavior, brought this article up, and his opponent shut him down by crying harassment, triggering an investigation. He was exonerated, but the university president has decided he needs to be sanctioned anyway.

Instead, sign the petition to support the instructor who has been sanctioned for discussing scientific research with an academic colleague.

And as PZ says, feel free to discuss bat sex all you want.
