(CNN)A Christian teacher is on the verge of being fired for blasphemy. Do you think this is happening in:
A. Iran
B. Saudi Arabia,
C. Wheaton, Illinois
If you picked the first two, well, you might be correct. But if you picked Wheaton, Illinois, you are also right on the money
That is because, Larycia Hawkins, a devout Christian and a tenured professor at Wheaton College, a well-regarded, Christian, liberal arts institution, may lose her job for simply following the teachings of Jesus Christ.
It’s appalling that in a time when we see Christians targeted for their faith by groups like ISIS, this is taking place in a suburb of Chicago in the heart of America.
