"Lysenkoism" at OSU?

According to Simmons, the kind of unethical, politically motivated machinations Robinson charges against OSU "just don't happen" in academe, and definitely not at OSU. Tell that to Dr. George Taylor, former head of Oregon Climate Services at OSU. In 2008 Taylor was bounced from OSU (after a stellar 19-year career) for refusing to cave in to the Global Warming Lysenkoists.

As the Climategate scandals at Penn State, Britain's University of East Anglia, and other universities have shown, Lysenkoism may have been officially repudiated in the Soviet Union, but it still thrives in the hallowed groves of academe.
