Wheaton was once a respectable college

this is the 3rd or 4th report about negative or immoral teaching, environment there in last couple of years

it sounds as if Wheaton is going, or being led, down the drain just like a number of other Christian or Catholic colleges,
???

In 1963 or 64 my Economics Prof gave a short essay exam. To one question I answere that Keynes would say X, the Austrians would say Y, Milton Friedman would say Z.

Although all the others answers were correct, the Prof gave me a D-. He wrote on the paper that Friedman was not a real economist and referencing him discredited my entire paper.

I went to the Head of the Department, Dr Kamm. He explained to me that it was out of his hands and he could not help. The accrediting body had threatened to pull Wheaton’s accredidation due to its stand on Intelligent Design aka Creation. Wheaton accepted a compromise. Wheaton would be allowed to keep it position in the Bible Department, not the Science Department ... if it agreed to hire “modern” profs in the social sciences. At Wheaton at that time Mark Hatfield typesm, the Oregon Republican Senator, was probably the best example of what those negotiating the compromise thought they would be getting.

So the compromises go way back.

“Christian” universities and seminaries were long ago infested by the Frankfurt School.
