: Dispatches from the Culture WarsSteve Gey Forced to Give Up Teaching
By Ed Brayton
The Tampa newspaper has a sad but strangely uplifting story about Steve Gey, law professor at Florida State and staunch defender of science education against the attacks of creationists. As I reported about 18 months ago, Gey has Lou Gehrig's disease and it has now progressed to the point where he has had to give up teaching. And I don't know about you, but I couldn't make it through that article without crying.
I've never had the good fortune to meet Steve in person, but we have corresponded and we have many mutual friends, including one of his students who graduated last year. I've never known a man more beloved by those around him. I've never heard a single person, even those who have battled against him in court cases involving highly emotional issues, utter anything but praise for his character and his way with people.
