Coppedge Meets Kafka

From Evolution News & Views...
When I first read the complaint filed in the David Coppedge case against NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, I had a sense of deja vu. Something similar happened to me in college.

As Jay Richards points out, a striking thing about the computer specialist's experience with the thought police is the way he was punished by Darwinist supervisors (for occasionally distributing samizdat documentaries on intelligent design) after having already agreed to abide by the outrageous demand to stop loaning out the DVDs and talking about intelligent design. There's no indication he did anything other than keep his promise.
