It was so jerky, I had to piece together what he was saying and near the end, it was about 'where are we going' what are we here for I think, but after that I could't follow it, just too jerky to understand.

"Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom"
What do you think that means?
When I saw it I immediately thought of the court case to do with ID in the US. If that is what it is referring to then my thoughts are:
Rational people have prevented pseudoscience from being taught as fact in the science classroom.
I personally have no problem with new ideas or even controversial ones being discussed in the university classroom. I do however object to anything going into lower school text books and science classes that:
1. Does not have the support of the scientific community.
2. Is little more than an unproven hypothesis.
3. Has as its proponents confirmed liars.(as was shown in the court case).

Or do you simply object to my use of the word 'pseudoscience' but don't wish to admit it in the fear that I might back up my statement to your disadvantage?
