Your instinct is correct about being suspicious about how this dogma is being forced. According to James Tour, behind closed doors the conversation is very different, and people admit to things that they would never in public. As per another comment in this thread, people are afraid to speak out because of fear for their careers or being cancelled - which I think there was a documentary that showed several of those cases. Dr. Eyad Qunaibi has a good introductory series that looks at evolution in a critical manner. I came across some material with English captions[1][2][3] for those interested.
