Excerpt:
A tenured political science professor who Wheaton College seeks to fire said the private evangelical school has leveled a number of charges against her, including "her unqualified assertion of religious solidarity with Muslims and Jews."
"I'm flummoxed and flabbergasted," Larycia Hawkins said during a news conference at First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple on Wednesday.
"The charges against me are voluminous — about 38 to 40 pages' worth," she said. "But the most shocking and egregious ones are related to claims about my beliefs — that is, Wheaton College's interpretation of what my theological beliefs must be based on my statements."
