An interesting but long Baylor read

From the DallasMorningViews Beloblog:

“The Education of David Jeffrey”

Here is an astonishing, must-read story about the way the extraordinarily gifted Christian scholar David Lyle Jeffrey was treated at Baylor. There were the death threats, there was his family having to go to football games with bodyguards, there were the slashed tires, there was his teenage son having to put up with pranksters soaking his football equipment in urine.

And wait till you read what Jeffrey’s “crime” was. It is well and truly shocking to read stuff like this, and to think that we’re talking about a Christian university.
