The vibe in the biology classroom was tentative. The students knew what was coming. The professor knew what was coming. What was unknown was how it was going to turn out.
But this was not a science experiment. This was a planned discussion that had a reputation for rattling some students’ core beliefs, risking institutional donors’ support, and landing the school on the conservative media’s hit list. Again.
The course was Ecology and Conservation, taught by Professor April Cordero, at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, where I am a professor of journalism.
