The ID perps have been claiming scientific censorship, probably, from
the beginning of the ID creationist scams changing the name of Biblical >creationism to intelligent design. They are still yacking about
censorship on their creationist news site.
The biologist Rupert Sheldrake has a video where he talks about his
book "A New Science of Life" from 1981, which is about his hypothesis
about "morphogenetic fields".
Not exactly ID but intricately linked to ID, and apparently just as controversial, as it was deemed "heresy" by Nature magazine, quote:
"And to start with, things went swimmingly well. There was a feature
in New Scientist and Colin Couch was immensely supportive and helpful.
The Guardian wrote editorials, and there were serious discussions in
many scientific journals and magazines. But then three months later
came this Hammer Blow editorial on the front page of Nature ( the
leading international scientific journal), called "A Book for
Burning". And I was denounced by the editor of Nature, Sir John
Maddox, for heresy. And his aim was to run me out of tongue to make
sure I'd never get to got a job again or a grant in the scientific
world. And he succeeded. I was unemployable from then on, and I
became extremely dangerous to know. So magic succeeded. But it did
mean in terms of research on this hypothesis, I couldn't do it in
regular universities because it was just too controversial."

BTW, recent experimental research by others, inspired by his
hypothesis, has revealed strong evidence for these morphogentic fields
as well as for ID in general:
"If we want to understand biological intelligence or make bioinspired technologies these are the things we have to really think about.
Intelligence I think is pretty much everywhere, we have to get better
at being able to recognize it, and I think a large part of that is
going to be to understand the input that comes neither from the hardware/genetics nor from the history of evolution."
