On this episode of ID the Future, attorney Joshua Youngkin, Discovery Institute Program Officer in Public Policy and Legal Affairs, gives some background on Ball State University's violation of academic freedom — an issue that has escalated with BSU President Jo Ann Gora's recent edict forbidding all faculty from expressing support for intelligent design in the classroom. Youngkin reveal's BSU's targeted application of speech restrictions, discussing how BSU allows faculty to teach that "Science Must Destroy Religion," and calls for BSU lift its ban on discussions of intelligent design.

If you support academic freedom on intelligent design, please contact Ball State University's Board of Trustees right away and ask them to overturn President Gora's ban on faculty discussions of intelligent design. Take action now.
