The article reports that controversy is brewing at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where Francis J. Beckwith, a prominent and widely published Christian philosopher and legal scholar, was recently denied tenure--some say for his conservative religious views. Beckwith, an associate professor and associate director of Baylor's J.M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies, joined the faculty of the Baptist University in 2003. Since his appointment, there have been rumblings on the campus about Beckwith's affiliation with the Discovery Institute, an intelligent-design think tank, and his writings promoting the teaching of intelligent design in public schools.
