LA's California Science Center is under fire (and facing a lawsuit) for scheduling, and then cancelling, a screening of a film about intelligent design. The American Freedom Alliance intended to show "Darwin's Dilemma" alongside "We Are Born of Stars," a documentary that supports Darwin's theory of evolution. Now the AFA contends that the California Science Center, in cancelling the screening, is violating the 1st Amendment by stifling scientific debate over the validity of intelligent design. Is a science center the wrong place to argue intelligent design? Or does academia have a responsibility to air both sides of this debate?
