An interesting quotation

Things are too quiet here. So I will post a quote I found a weeks ago.

Phillip Johnson wrote:

"A few centuries ago, the defenders of orthodoxy used the
same logic to explain why the common people needed to be
protected from exposure to the spurious heresies of Galileo. In
fairness, the creationists Kitcher had in mind are biblical
fundamentalists who want to attack orthodox scientific doctrine
on a broad front. I do not myself think that such advocacy
groups should be given a platform in the classroom."
~Phillip E. Johnson, "Evoution as Dogma: The Establishment of
Naturalism" First Things, October 1990, p. 22

Does anybody agree with Johnson that such groups should not be given a
platform in the classroom? What topics should outlaw such groups?
