Wheaton College suspends professor over Muslim comments

Wheaton College has suspended tenured political science professor Larycia Hawkins after she wrote an essay on Facebook showing her solidarity with the Muslim community, according to a statement posted to the school’s website Tuesday.

In her post, Hawkins said that she would wear a hijab to show “human solidarity” with Muslim neighbors because they are “formed of the same primordial clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind.”

“I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book. And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God,” Hawkins wrote.

I certainly hope Wheaton College is not receiving taxpayer funding of any kind.
