[Hac-announce] how to respond to cartoonist

[Thomas Platt]

Hi Cary,

This is what I submitted to http://www.grimmy.com/:

I have a complaint about your 7/21/11 cartoon, "How Atheists testify  
under oath" This panders to widespread ignorance and biases against  
both atheism and evolution.  I teach children about dinosaurs as a  
volunteer docent at Yale's Peabody Museum, and I think you can do  
better.

Thanks for help and suggestions.

	Tom

REPEAT OF CARY SHAW'S  INFORMATION:

The cartoon, in an attempt to be funny, unfortunately feeds a  
negative and false stereotype of atheists.  To explain this to  
cartoonist Mike Peters, and the King Features Syndicate, and to ask  
that he try his comedic talents to spoof those who bear prejudice  
against atheists, one can contact them.

“Place your hand on Darwin’s “Origin of Species” and repeat after me…

How Atheists Testify Under Oath”)
