I saw the movie "Expelled" last night. Ben Stein and the others making the movie did a masterful job of shedding light on the fact that when it comes to science education in the USA, all speech is not created (or treated) equal. The theory of evolution is now taught as fact across the land in spite of glaring holes in the theory that very smart, well educated scientists have exposed. However, if a scientist or professor dares to suggest that intelligent design should at least be part of the discussion in classrooms, the movie shows that move to be deadly to one's career. Multiple professors in the movie lost tenure or even their jobs because they simply mentioned intelligent design in a paper or in a classroom. What happened to freedom of speech? At a local level, it makes me wonder what would happen to a science teacher at Prior Lake High School if they mentioned intelligent design. Maybe I'll ask someone on the school board. I hope the answer is not "they would lose their job". The movie also sheds light on the connection between Darwin and eugenics. Eugenics was very popular and advocated by people like Adolph Hitler and Margaret Sanger. We all know what Hitler did. Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood which is best known now for its abortion clinics and intense advocacy for abortion on demand. Eugenics basically is all about getting rid of the undesirables. For Hitler, undesirables included Jews, gays, blacks, etc. For Sanger, undesirables included the mentally retarded, the unborn, etc. Did you know that 50,000 Americans were sterilized against their will back in the early part of the last century? Why? Because they were not deemed fit to procreate and reproduce. Incredible. Whatever side of the debate you are on, I encourage you to see this movie. It is very thought-provoking.
