Why should it be forbidden to discuss any theory on any subject in educational institutions?

ID isn’t a theory. It is religion. I cited the SCOTUS case. It shouldn’rt taught in school only because it is illegal to do so.

IDers should promote the IDA (Intelligent Design Amendment. Conservatives and Christians normally obey the law.

I'm sure you'd have a problem with a required course regarding why Christians have an inferior mindset and should be either enslaved or murdered.

At some point, you draw the line.

Perhaps you make it an elective course. Or perhaps you simply say, we're not going to teach something that is simply incorrect.

But you do have to draw that line somewhere.

The writer, (of this article,) either missed the whole point of the movie or is trying to deflect the topic into one of a scientific argument, which the movie did not intend to address. The movie was about intellectual freedom and censorship. Anyone discussing any other topic than this in regards to this movie is either a troll, or an idiot.

Teachers are hired to teach the curriculum. Science classes are there to teach the generally accepted science based on currently available data, not any theory anyone decides to bring into the classroom.

This is, of course, a free country, and you're free to promote any theory you wish. You are not entitled to do so on the taxpayer's time and dime.

Stein must be doing something right: some people are very frightened of this film.
