Baylor's Free-Speech Moment: Conservative Tour and Inclusive Voices Clash on Campus
Baylor University in Waco hosted two competing, campus-approved events in one evening—Turning Point USA’s conservative speakers and a progressive, LGBTQ+-inclusive gathering—highlighting the university’s evolving stance on free speech amid its Christian identity. The approvals sparked debate about changing campus norms, tension with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, and ongoing discussions about sexuality and inclusion within Baylor’s community.
