I wonder what would happen to the hapless student who chose as a class project to do a term paper on the weaknesses and gaps in the theory of evolution? Would the ACLU come in and demand that his paper be given a failing grade because it contradicts the dominant paradigm? Maybe they'd demand that the student be sent to a "re-education camp" to purge him of his dangerous anti-social way of thinking.

If it was in a science class, the grade should depend on whether the term paper was based on established science or reams of oft-rebutted and anti-science propaganda quote-mined from creationists websites.
