Another Conservative Plots to Make Us Dumb(er)

Intellectual prowess indeed!

Though Ben Stein may be best known as the droning teacher in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF or for hosting an eponymous game show, he displays his own intellectual prowess in this documentary. EXPELLED: NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED finds Stein investigating the snubbing of scientists and teachers who teach the theory of intelligent design. Stein, a former presidential speech writer, goes toe to toe with Darwin's biggest fans, including THE GOD DELUSION author Richard Dawkins, in an effort to expose the widespread prejudice against those who believe in God's role in creation.

I'm actually glad Stein is doing this, because it will put into the public space as never before the (intriguing) hypotheses that scientists have for answering his snotty question, "So how did life get started in the first place?"

But of course, the motivation of his project is asinine.
