It’s being discussed continually right here on FR. Nobody bars your right to speak your mind. The Professor has not been fired and he will presumably continue to espouse his ideas as he sees fit. He’s been denied tenure (a decision reserved for the University, not you or me or the Federal govt), far short of silencing him.

I agree with you. Personally, I can't stand tenure anyway. However, I don't think Intelligent Design is

Injecting religion ... into science

or that

claiming it has equal validity has no value.

I don't see any injection of religion in this problem:

A. Man, the Universe, and all life was created by accident
or
B. They were not.

And I think either option is equally valid to debate.
