UPDATE:
The associated press differs with the Huffington Post. The AP claims Stein withdrew from the commencement, while the Huffington Post claims he was disinvited. Read the reports for yourself:
-Post article.
-AP article.
So, which is it? Was Stein dropped, or did he cancel? So much for accurate, unbiased reporting.
ORIGINAL NEWS POST:
See the report here.
It is amazing, but apparently the University of Vermont felt that it was necessary to literally expel Ben Stein from its commencement. Apparently, supporting intelligent design is not allowed at their institution. So much for open debate, the freedom of thought, and the First Amendment. Liberal colleges have decided that the "Theory" of Evolution is the only truth, and they will entertain no other theories nor tolerate others who disagree. For those who pride themselves on being open-minded, they have acted just like those who persecuted Galileo for his theories. It is a sad day in academia when politics and prejudice rule rather than open debate and scientific inquiry.
