What you say boils down to this. Thinking for yourself is dangerous, censorship of ideas and thought are good, listen to me I have all the answers. Sound good? Not to me.

You must have a vivid imagination to derive this meaning from my many posts on this subject.
Thinking for yourself is a virtue. Censorship of ideas is not acceptable. I simply pointed out that creationism and ID are not scientific theories and as a result do not belong in a science classroom. That is in no way censorship. They are not there because they have no merit, not because someone is trying to censor thought. There are lots of things that do not belong in a science classroom - alchemy, astrology, etc. Am I squelching the freedom of ideas and thoughts of astologists by not allowing them to teach astrology as a valid scientific theory to school children? I don't think so.
