Western Civ under fire at KU debate over bias
KU faculty edited Patterns In Western Civilization faces criticism from KC Baptist Temple linked group KCBT Student Ministries which ran a full page ad in the student paper. Ward Nitz says the course undercuts the Bible while professor James Woelfel defends it and a campus forum on Wednesday aims to address concerns. The two semester course centers on primary Western sources and their relation to Bible perspectives, with Woelfel noting unexamined beliefs are valuable.
