Isn’t this a violation of that “church and state” thing? Won’t the hijab cover up the crucifix she always wears to show her “solidarity” with Christians?

“s/he deserves love by virtue of her/his human dignity,”
This shows that liberalism is a severe, incurable mental disorder. Giving any respect to a subhuman pre-cambrian reptilian ideology is insane.
Actually, this is something I would expect the current pope to do.

Education majors have the lowest SAT scores than any other group of college majors.

I can actually picture my VERY lib sister (early ‘60s) and her book club members trying on hijabs at their little get-togethers...commenting on the fine texture of their recent acquisitions, giggling at their daring, giddy at the thought of wearing a full burqa. She’s a 2x Obama voter...and, will not to this day admit to the destruction he’s caused. “Submission” to the religion of piece will be an easy transition for her.

She is a very tolerant person. Not a hater like everyone else.

Merry Christmas

Wheaton College was founded by abolitionists in 1860.....and is a four-year private, Christian liberal arts institution.

It's located in Wheaton, a beautiful suburb in heavily-conservative Republican Du Page county...and is located about 25 miles west of Democrat Chicago.

Famous graduates include Rev. Billy Graham, Hollywood director Wes Craven, former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Rep. Jim McDermott, Senator Dan Coats plus the late, heroic Todd Beamer ("Let's Roll!), passenger on the ill-fated United flight 93.

I worked in Wheaton (the county seat) for well over a decade as a county board commissioner. The beautiful college campus was quiet and conservative, almost like out of a 1930's Andy Hardy movie.

Political correctness now reigns on campus as fostered by its administration...and one can expect radicalization will slowly but surely be attempted by the Left as it works unrelentessly to take over every institution in America....particularly academia.

This Hijab-wearing Wheaton College professor expressing her "solidarity with Muslims" is only a portent of things to come.

True solidarity would require her to turn her driver’s license in...

I have visited the Wheaton campus and know several people who are graduates. I always thought of Wheaton as a conservative Christian college. Bet this won’t go down too well with a lot of the alumni.

According to Siama Usmani, a Muslim American, teacher . . .

Do Muslim women have to wear a hijab and is it a form of subjugation? No.

"If your husband is a gentle, loving, bearded man who goes to the mosque five times a day and asks you to wear the hijab because he thinks it's the right thing to do and since you two are partners he wants you to be the best you can be, then just wear the damn thing.

But when men use it as a form of "protecting" their women from "the world," then yes. If men use it as an excuse to prevent women from work, activism, or having a voice, then yes. "

Sounds like a form of subjugation to me! Maybe thats what this prof is really trying to say

she will be wearing a hijab (Muslim head scarf) throughout her celebration of the Advent

Who knew Advent was an Islamic holy season? The board needs to fire her for stupidity at the very least.

Where can one send college children to avoid such idiocy if not an “evangelical” college? This lady needs to move to Saudi Arabia to practice her solidarity.

It’s supposedly an “evangelical” college.

Are there any institutions that the left hasn’t taken over?

We’ve become a very sick country.

Looks like Satan crept into their congregation.
I wager he was there all along.

"as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God"

Either (1) we worship the same God, and that God changed His mind from "love your neighbor" to "spread the faith through the sword", or (2) we worship God, and they worship the other side, a side that opposes the message of peace, hope, and love that Jesus gave us and spreads its message through hate and through carnal temptations (but that side does know Jesus since it spent 40 days tempting Him in the wilderness). It's a free country, so we are free to decide whether we believe Jesus or a perverted pedophile. Unlike this professor, I believe Jesus.

A useless idiot teaching a worthless class in a socially destructive degree program.

At a traditionally CHRISTIAN COLLEGE.

Interesting to read their Statement of Faith and Educational Purpose. Methinks they should re-think having that on their website at this point.

Speaker Dennis Hastert

You won't find Hastert's plaque or any acknowledgement of him being a graduate left anywhere on Wheaton College's grounds after his sex payoff/banking fraud guilty plea.

I wonder, when she went to work Monday after the San Bernardino shootings, did she look closely at any moslems she works with to see if they might suddenly go off the deep end?

Must not profile! Ignore that bulge, beard, soulless dead eyes, wife dressed like a folded umbrella.

It’s a shame to hear this. They had, and maybe still have, a nice little evangelical museum. That was the first place I’d heard of Billy Sunday.
