I thought it was cheap of him to describe the student dismissively as "a New Jersey student, known for his activism in promoting 1st Amendment rights." Coming from a historian of US government, one would think he'd respect promoting 1st Amendment rights as something more than "activism." He should applaud the student's efforts, even if he disagrees with them.
Anyway, he was right about the prayer issue; at least insofar as the current edition of the text is concerned. But weirdly, it looked to me like the edition that the kid has in the picture on the original article is the newest one.
On the global warming issue, I think Wilson is still in the wrong.
> If they doubt the claim that this is controversial, they should consult professors Richard Linzen at MIT, William Gray at the University of Colorado and John Christy at the University of Alabama, among others.
Well, for one thing, it's Lindzen not Linzen.
He's pretty reactionary.
On Gray, see Storm World, a pretty balanced book with a chapter or two that covers him. He's an empathetic and interesting person, but it's hard to avoid the impression that he's something of a dinosaur these days.
Don't know much about Christie, but the fact that he was in The Great Global Warming Swindle doesn't say a whole lot for his professionalism either.
