The downside of Academic Freedom

(No Ratings Yet)

In my recent paper on academic freedom I argued the position that educators were in need of the freedom in an effort to provide themselves with the ability to research and teach any topic they chose. I failed to realize that there are, apparently, those who are lazy and or ignorant and would take advantage of this in a second manner – the freedom not to teach topics on grounds that they are controversial. Its quite sad when instructors pressure for legislature to provide them with legal grounds to avoid instruction on evolution, or anything else for that matter.

Our education system is in need of a major overhaul.

Being intelligent on ID is not a simple process, but she handles it quite well. Squabbles over terms and disregarding evidence is a habit that Creationists fail to realize (or neglect on purpose). Arguing over fallacies used in arguments is a tactic that we logic and reason driven people have in our arsenal. I recently stepped through many fallacies that another creationist used in order to support their case.

Ben Steins position - evolution is JUST a theory and is not a fact - is flawed in that he implies that just giving up our quest for knowledge and understanding and placing the stamp that god was the ultimate cause leads to the only conclusion.

He spouts off about intellectual dishonesty, but doesn’t realize/accept that he has committed the most disingenuous crime of any scientist - Fraud.
