Abstract
Our Newsletter and the pages of PSCF have chronicled the recent struggles of various individuals with the scientific establishment over real or potential deviation from biological orthodoxy. We are rightly outraged at the suppression of academic freedom and seek to hold up to the light of day the actions of those who would force their view of scientific orthodoxy on those who teach or write. The doyens of secular science, stung by the attacks of the creationist movement, feel it necessary to sweep the plate clean of those whose faith might cause them to question its canons. It seems that the plenary authority, credibility and political power of science are at stake.
