I would have to agree with Ratman and krwlz....just go along, give him what he wants. Slam him on the evaluations at the end of the class when there is no way he could "punish" you. Even go to the Dean like wrr said...just wait till you have the grade.
It will teach you a valuable skill...keeping your mouth shut when you have nothing to gain except a few pride points, which are just not worth it.
Anyway, to commisserate, as a social science guy myself, I am embarassed that this guy is just talking out of his ass....why he would venture out of his narrow area of expertise is inexplicable.
Someone else briefly mentioned the tenure issue. If he is an adjunct and you complain and make a cogent case, he probably will not return. If he is tenured, then he is virtually bulletproof.

I so disagree with this service model of education, treating it like a fast food restaraunt...this is the process that leads to grade inflation and the declining standards that everyone complains about! For every student like Greg that desires a more rigourous education, there are 8 that would be content to sleep through every class and have the professor give them little note sheets to memorize and regurgitate at test time. That service model is just not viable.
