"Tax-funded academic and intellectual freedoms at work....[/sarcasm]"
Professors are still free to do any research they like and to say and print whatever they like.
What they are not free to do in general is to teach something as fact that has no supporting evidence. This is not limited to intelligent design, it applies to anything non-scientific a professor of science might try to introduce as fact.
Are you suggesting that the central premises of the Darwinian theory is secured by reliable supporting evidence?
