Man Interviewed In Movie Not Allowed To See It

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (CBS) ― An associate professor at the University of Minnesota was expelled from a free screening of the movie "Expelled."

P.Z. Myers was interviewed in "Expelled," and even thanked in the movie's credits. When he tried to watch the film, however, he was kicked out 15 minutes before it started.

"It was kind of weird," Myers posted on his blog. "I was standing in line, hadn't even gotten to the point where I had to sign in and show ID, and a policeman pulled me out of line and told me I could not go in."

Myers is an atheist. The movie argues that schools should teach creationism as an alternative to evolution.

"Expelled" will have its big-screen debut April 18.
