"Mocked and belittled." Ben Stein interview in World Magazine. World. April 19, 2008, Vol. 23, No. 8. Here is the entire quote: "I was approached a couple of years ago by the producers, and they described to me the central issue of Expelled, which was about Darwinism and why it has such a lock on the academic establishment when the theory has so many holes. And why freedom of speech has been lost at so many colleges to the point where you can't question even the slightest bit of Darwinism or your colleagues will spurn you, you'll lose your job, and you'll be publicly humiliated. As they sent me books and talked to me about these things I became more enthusiastic about participating. http://www.worldmag.com/articles/13926
