Outspoken anti-Intelligent-Design religious studies professor ambushed, beaten by two men who made reference to the class he had planned to teach.

(It should be noted that some people are skeptical that the man was really beaten by creationists, instead believing that the man used an unrelated mugging to gain sympathy for himself after getting in trouble for the nasty anti-fundamentalist emails that resulted in his class being cancelled in the first place. I guess we won't know one way or the other until the guys are caught, if they are.) (vie MeFi)
