Not quite that bad,
"The purpose of ID's research program is not to convince the unconvincible -- critics who repeat over and over in the media that there is no such thing as ID research, that ID has not produced a single peer-reviewed paper. Rather, ID research seeks to engage open-minded scientists and thoughtful laypersons with credible, persuasive, peer-reviewed, empirical data supporting intelligent design."

Re: College: Where Free Speech Goes to Die

My eldest son, for what reason I'll never know, chose a "Feminist Ethics" womens studies course as an elective in his junior year at university. As we were residing in the same town as the school he'd drop by with class notes and we'd discuss the profs statements, do some fact checking and prepare a rebuttal. After the 3rd repitition of this process he stated "She's looking a little wild when I ask questions or refute her statements!" In fact she had begun cursing and vilifying him and two other students and by the end of the second week of the semester she had ejected him from class and was seeking to have him disciplined by the administration. Unbeknownst to her, to supplement his hand written notes he was using a Sony audio recorder, the antiques that use the itty bitty tapes, and had captured every word she'd uttered. The result was his placement in another class more in line with his major, and her dismissal.
Never forget these words:
"Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power"
Public Enemy, 1989
