Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

And should you investigate more closely, ml, you'll learn that Dr. Ehrman's crisis of reason over fundamentalism began at Wheaton, a private, evangelical college that required him like all its students to sign a pledge that the bible is inerrant.

Besides, Wheaton appears to have its own crisis of reason over fundamementalism...

Areas of controversy have included certain evolutionary theories being taught in at least one anthropology course (by a professor who has since left the college), some plays performed in the drama department, and issues regarding the gender of the Godhead.

In 2003, at least one conservative Christian group was asked to leave campus by security personnel for displaying signs condemning the school's theology.

Joshua Hochschild, assistant professor of philosophy, was dismissed in 2004 for converting to Roman Catholicism.

Wheaton College made national headlines on February 20, 2003 when it lifted its then 143 year-old ban on student dancing... and granted adult faculty members and grad students the freedom to choose whether they want to smoke or drink alcohol while off-campus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheaton_College,_Illinois

Notable Wheaton alumni include Billy Graham, Wes Craven, Bart Ehrman, and Dennis Hastert.
