Professor at Christian college who wore hijab in 'solidarity' with Muslims leaves school

A political science professor from Wheaton College, a small Christian school outside of Chicago, who wore a hijab to proclaim her "solidarity" with Muslims, has "found a mutual place of resolution and reconciliation" with the school and the two will part ways.

Larycia Hawkins also said that her gesture was an acknowledgment that Muslims and Christians worship the same god.

After recommending that she be fired, the college's Provost withdrew his request and turned the matter over to the college president who reached the confidential agreement with Hawkins that has led to her leaving the school without being fired.

CLTV:

Wheaton Provost Stanton Jones told professors in an email Saturday night that he had turned over the decision of whether to vacate the administrative leave of their colleague Larycia Hawkins to college president Philip Ryken.

"I stand by my concerns that Dr. Hawkins' theological statements raised important questions," Jones wrote to faculty. "However, in light of the deficiencies in my early responses, and recognizing that Dr. Hawkins’ Theological Response was a promising start toward answering satisfactorily some of the questions that I was raising at the time, I revoked the (recommendation for termination) and turned resolution of the administrative leave over to President Ryken."

In January, the college's faculty council, 10 professors elected by their peers, unanimously recommended withdrawing Hawkings' suspension and halting termination proceedings against the associate professor of political science, "due to grave concerns about the process."

In December, Hawkins, 43, announced on Facebook that she would don a hijab as part of her Advent devotion to show support for Muslims who had been under scrutiny since mass shootings in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.

I am getting so very tired of the "educated" among us who cannot understand the English language. A "mutual place" is not an understanding, but is a location.

I believe the Arab nomads already called the Moon God Allah......before the prophet

Boy you can sure see why tribals in a nearly rain free desert would be enamoured with the moon.....its overwhelming at night

My only question is why not call the new God Alice?

Note to all the parents trying to find the money to send your kid (s) to college:

This is the danger of what lurks out there.

No wonder people think there is nothing wrong with Sharia Law.

Liberals probably flocked to her as a defender of Islam until they realized she had offended another group of victims: Women forced to wear them.

Stupid move...

Sounds as if the school did a poor job of vetting their teachers. There are snakes in the cribs and they must be found and driven out.

This all comes from the left turning muzzys into a certified victim group and then forgiving them for all their evils. They accept muzzy culture without question even though it is anti-nature.

I should try and find the evidence to support what I had heard a few years ago - that being, some muzzies got together a bought a church in Wheaton that was on the down slide. I was sick when I heard about that. Also, if I recall correctly, Wheaton has more churchs per capita than any other town - might be limited to IL, I can’t recall.

Because Hawkins is mentally ill, she probably thought being a tenured prof at Wheaton protected her “free speech”. Guess not.

Blasphemy!

No other way to put it.
