This is absolutely true. My husband teaches neuroscience and recently had an experience with a student that was offended and distraught by a discussion about a hallucinogenic plant that is theorized to have played a role in religous life of a cult identified as a pre-cursor to christianity. His response and inability to accept the possibility because it was a potential threat to his belief system disrupted the coversation and side-tracked the class. And this was at the graduate-level.
