Interestingly enough, the YEC's I am friends with (how can a Christian avoid
being friends with some YEC's?) feel that YEC's are muzzled in the schools,
the universities, publications and conferences. I agree that decent
standards of scientific discourse cannot be applied on a "free speech"
basis, but it certainly would be nice if we could educate the folks in the
pews on how science works.
