Project, has invited as a public speaker on campus, Richard Dawkins of
Oxford University, whose published opinions, as represented in his
2006 book "The God Delusion", and public statements on the theory of

The hypocrisy in this statement is overwhelming.
It's the jesus freaks who in "public statements on the theory of
evolution demonstrate an intolerance for cultural diversity and
diversity of thinking and are views that are not shared and are not
representative of the thinking of a majority of the citizens of
Oklahoma."
