Journal Article
University culture wars recall the fight to teach evolution
2022
Overview
In May 1921, the University of Wisconsin in Madison hosted an anti-evolution lecture by popular pundit William Jennings Bryan - who later became famous for arguing in the Scopes monkey trial in Tennessee, about teaching evolution to schoolchildren. Bryan demanded that Wisconsin's instructors stop teaching evolution, and that Birge personally affirm a belief in creation as described in the biblical Book of Genesis. Today's push for conservative control of universities is just as ambitious. [...]today's scholars are more vulnerable: higher-education budgets are depleted, and some university departments and programmes are simply being eliminated, notjust criticized.
