Potowatomi author Kaitlin Curtice heckled at Baylor University

On February 12, Potawatomi author Kaitlin Curtice was heckled during a chapel service at Baylor University in which she addressed God as “Mystery” and spoke about the need to decolonize Christianity and to dismantle “capitalist greed” and “toxic patriarchy.”

When Curtice stated that in many churches, men and women are not seen as equals, a student shouted, “No one even thinks like that!”

Following the chapel service, the Baylor chapter of the Young Con­serva­tives of Texas released a statement re­questing that the Baylor administration apologize to students, faculty, and alumni for “breaking their mission to provide an unapologetically Christian chapel experience and for allowing a speaker with pagan sympathies to mislead” students.
