I'd leave out 4c entirely- it will just cause arguments and Creationism is already exempt per your definition of science in 2.
And how do we define 'persecuted?' What I got from the American Heritage Dictionary is
Quote: 1. To oppress or harass with ill-treatment, especially because of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or beliefs.
2. To annoy persistently; bother.

this could cover private citizens simply making fun of the scientists on late night talk shows or maybe just refusing to sit next to them at lunch
