Good God! The last thing Baylor needs is the "KGB" of Reynolds vernacular from the 80s. Baylor will never be tier one if some of y'all have your way in terms of only right wing voices being able to speak on campus. This is a universty. Go to Antioch if you want to hear repeats of what you already believe.
You can't have a real dialogue unless you have a voice of your own. Schools abandoning the richness of the Western tradition in favor of grim identity politics and cultural pessimism are already too many to count. Baylor has a unique contribution to make even if - perhaps especially if - it means being a voice in the wilderness.
The Western tradition includes hearing various viewpoints, including those of identitarians.
Maybe BU should post a trigger warning for the YCs.
Lol, yeah. Because of an email expressing disapproval. From one organization. Meanwhile "Tier 1" universities have full blown mobs rioting and violence on campus if a conservative speaker dare be allowed to set foot on campus.
This is
chapel. At a religious school. Allowing some group on campus to invite this weirdo to come speak is perfectly fine . . . but having the
school invite her to present her beliefs
in chapel is antithetical to the school's stated mission and is eyebrow-raising to those who happen to care about what the school supposedly stands for.
Those on this thread who think Baylor shouldn't be a religious school in the first place are obviously fine with it. They also probably should have picked a different school.
