Ball State Backpedals on Intelligent Design
Ball State president Jo Ann M. Gora said the school will limit intelligent design inquiries to humanities or social science courses
In her statement, Gora did not disclose the future of Hedin’s class, focusing only on intelligent design teaching: “On this point, I want to be very clear.

I had never known that Gutenberg’s dream for his moveable-type printing press was the spread of the gospel.
