“Bueller?...Bueller??”
False.
All "dissent" needs to do is bring evidence -- scientific evidence.
But there you encounter the problem: ID is religious belief masquerading as science. It has made a lot of claims, but it has produced no evidence that has withstood scientific scrutiny. Even Behe has backed away from most of his earlier claims.
Look at the efforts of the Dyscovery Institute in support of ID. Check out their blogs. Most are authored by lawyers, with an occasional English major or journalist for diversity. Where is the science? What a joke!
Oh, I’m sure that this whole thing isn’t that big a deal for Ben. He’ll probably just donate huge sums of cash to a candidate who would make sure that this sort of thing continues.
Obviously this isn't really science that we are talking about. Science is all about curiousity, and challenging limits. When science becomes dogma, it also becomes religion.
I’ll support exposing godless, liberal hypocrisy.
What do you do when somethign threatens to undo a preferred hypothesis? Answer- first you malign and ridicule the opponents, then if that doesn’t work to undermine hte science, then you accuse it of being something it isn’t- when that falls flat on it’s face- you bring out hte big guns- you pass laws to prevent it from ever being presented in a fair and objective manner, and you call it a ‘threat to human rights” LOL:
“STRASBOURG, November 1, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (CoE) has adopted a resolution to ban creationism from receiving any discussion in schools outside of religion classes. “The Parliamentary Assembly is worried about the possible ill-effects of the spread of creationist ideas within our education systems and about the consequences for our democracies,” said the resolution adopted on October 4 by the Parliament made up of 626 members elected from each European Member State.
“If we are not careful, creationism could become a threat to human rights which are a key concern of the Council of Europe,” said the resolution.”
“A Discovery Institute analysis of the resolution countered, “Isn’t science supposed to permit - and even embrace - skepticism and doubt? By equating Darwin-doubting with a thought-crime against humanity, the resolution exposes the CoE as being the very types of dogmatists they claim to eschew.””

I thought this was going to be a story on a DNC convention :P
Academic indoctrination.
How convenient.
I just received an email of my niece giving testimony before congress.
Anybody got the skinny on the organization known as powershift?
Looks like an offshoot of the global warming cottage industry.
It also looks very hard-core left.
