Here.
​
Answers in Genesis, recognized as one of the strongest advocates for homeschooling in America, has been kicked out of two homeschool conventions where AiG President Ken Ham had been scheduled to speak. In addition, AiG as an exhibitor has also been expelled. [...] At the end of the day, they are censors. They claim to want open debate and discussion, but when we engage them in the battle of ideas, they launch invectives and ad hominem arguments, and then seek to exclude AiG from the debate.
​
Someone should make a movie about that.

Re: Homeschooling conventions
Homeschooling conventions are not necessarily Christian or Biblical. The comprise of all varieties of ideologies, some which would be incompatible with AIG.
​
The board of this particular homeschooling convention is exclusively Christian, Biblical, and YEC, and say that they "largely share AIG's perspective". But obviously not "largely" enough.
​
From their email to Ham:
​
After much prayer and deliberation over the weekend, Great Homeschool Convention's Advisory Board has unanimously decided to disinvite Ken and AIG from all future conventions, including the Cincinnati convention next week. The Board believes this to be the Lord's will for our convention and searched the Scriptures for the mind of the Lord and the leadership of the Holy Spirit before arriving at this decision. [...] Please know that our Board is 100% young earth and we largely share AIG's perspective from a scientific standpoint.

Ham defends himself:
​
We certainly questioned a person’s stand on Scripture, but we did not question his integrity, intelligence, or salvation.
​
Now, here's what he wrote about Enns and BioLogos:
​
Teaching The Truth Amidst A Sea Of Lies
​
Over the years, I have seen the lie of evolution and millions of years pushed even more by the secular world. It is so sad to see this pagan religion that tries to explain life without God so infiltrating the church. More and more organizations are being formed and more books printed by peopleeven within the churchto try to get God’s people to reject Genesis as literal history, and thus undermine the authority of God’s Word. No wonder we are losing the next generation from the church. For instance, even at this homeschool convention, there are a number of people (including speakers) that are associated with the extremely liberal Biologos Foundationan organization that is dedicated to trying to get people in the church to believe evolution and millions of years as fact. And now they are embarking on producing homeschool curriculumsuch as that from Dr. Peter Enns who spoke at this conference.
​
But at the same time, I praise God for the opportunity, that even in this sea of lies permeating our culture, I am able to teach the truth of God’s Word to many.
