The article discusses the 1911 controversy over the teaching of evolution at BYU. Church leadership shifted from a position of being opposed to the theory and made the controversy into a question of loyalty and obedience. 'Avoiding debate, the Church ignored the pleas of the students for academic freedom and open discussion and instead opted for order and 'propriety'... Although all Church leaders were not anti-intellectual, the official resolution of the 1911 conflict did reflect a fear of rigorous investigation of doctrinal and philosophical issues in Mormon thought.'
