Bigotry in Brooklyn

We missed this last week:

Timothy Shortell, who was recently elected as the chairman of the sociology department [at Brooklyn College], wrote in an online posting that "religious adherents" are "an ugly, violent lot" and "in the name of their faith these moral retards are running around pointing fingers and doing real harm to others."

Link.

The good news: There's been a small storm of protest and the college is reviewing Shortell's fitness for his position.
