Wheaton College suspends Christian professor who wore a hijab

6. Welcome to DU.

Thank you for writing.

In the Late Breaking News forum (LBN), we are required to use the headline as it appears and, in the quoted material box, stay strictly with what was written. Any commentary appears in a separate box.

When I post in LBN, I try to rely upon old-school print media sources for my articles, and not sites with an axe to grind. My monthly employment reports go to the source, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and not some source that is either cheerleading for the current administration or has its knives out for them.

As for what I quote, I do get to pick and choose a little, for though we are limited to four paragraphs, we get to select the paragraphs that are quoted.

In this case, I made sure to include material from the Chicago Tribune article pointing out that it was the professor's explanation, not her original act, that got her in hot water with her employer. The reason I did this was to forestall precisely the firestorm that was sure to follow once the news got taken over by partisan websites and twisted to meet the sites' agendas. That won't take long.

I hope this helps. Welcome to DU again.

Best wishes.
