Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity

eldavojohn writes "Painting the current scientific community as just as bad as the Spanish Inquisition, an extended trailer of Ben Stein's "Expelled" has a lot of people (at least that I know) talking. It looks like his movie plans to encourage people to speak out if they believe intelligent design or creationism to be correct. In the trailer he even warns you that if you are a scientist you may lose your job by watching 'Expelled.' Backlash to the movie has started popping up and this may force the creationism/evolutionist debate to a whole new level across the big screen and the internet." adholden points out a site called Expelled Exposed, which asserts that 'Expelled' "is simply an anti-science propaganda film aimed at creating controversy where none exists, while promoting poor science education that can and will severely handicap American students."

I agree to a point, but why not allow the debate in public schools if both are not proven? School should be a place where students are tought to think on their own, and derive their own conclusions to things which are not fact. So why not have all the different ideas of creation there for the taking, and let them come up with their own conclusion rather than shoving only one theory down their neck?
