By now, I’m sure most of you have heard about the academic freedom controversy surrounding Ball State University and the investigation of physics professor, Eric Hedin (pronounced he-deen).  Discovery Institute’s Evolution News and Views has published several stories over the past few weeks, most notably this, this, this and this.  (Articles on the entire saga can be found here.) Today, the DI launched a new web-page so you can help get the message of academic freedom to the BSU Board of Trustees.  If you believe in academic freedom, like I do, then please take a look at the page and add your voice.  The kind of treatment foisted upon Prof. Hedin is what you might expect in a totalitarian regime, not an institution of higher learning in the United States of America.

Not sure how to 'verify' that I sent an email to BSU Board of Trustees(as the webpage which has the pertinent details asks) but I did. Let's hope BSU takes a stand for Academic Freedom.Blue_Savannah

It's a bit hard for me to get all worked up about others being denied their freedom to argue and present their views while Salvador is still busy deleting my posts here at UD and others stand by and cheer.Mung

You guys should try and get this all up on a news source. Fox News for example, has done numerous stories on FFRF and this may be of interest to them, as well as other news outlets...equate65
