While I don't have the time tonight to go into the entire Intellectual Design (ID) debate, nor into the UCSD debacle over the anti-ID lecture mandatory for all freshmen, I will place my vote firmly against Professor Larry Moran who wrote that "Pro-ID undergraduates 'should never have [been] admitted'" to UCSD and that they should be flunked:
The University should just flunk the lot of them and make room for smart students who have a chance of benefiting from a high quality education.
Pro-ID or Anti-ID does not make one smart or dumb. Real education must consider alternate viewpoints -- not just dogmatic adherence to current beliefs.
