The producers of the "documentary" feature filmExpelled: No Intelligence Allowed (featuringBen Stein) created aLeader's Guide, intended to structure debate on the topics raised by the movie. The guide is intended for "leaders" (whoever they might be) to steer the discussion along the movie'stalking points - that thetheory of evolution is being questioned, that the people questioning the "Darwinian orthodoxy" are beingsingled out and punished, and that teaching evolutionleads toabortion,eugenics and genocide.

This article is a point-by-point critique of theLeader's Guide and ultimately of the message ofExpelled.
