Hawkins, herself a Christian at the evangelical school, declared that she would wear a hijab throughout the Christian season of Advent \u201cin human solidarity with [her] Muslim neighbor.\u201d<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"MsoNormal\">Hawkins\u2019 actions and comments, especially her insistence that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, immediately stirred controversy at the theologically conservative school, prompting her to write another post<span dir=\"RTL\" lang=\"AR-SA\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\">\u00a0<\/span>in which\u00a0she explained her position is \u201cone held for centuries by countless Christians.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"MsoNormal\">her defense apparently was not enough to convince officials at Wheaton, however. The school released a statement on December 15 announcing her suspension.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"MsoNormal\">Despite the administration\u2019s decision, Wheaton students and alumni are already rallying to Hawkins\u2019 defense. Over 450 students have joined a private Facebook group in support of the professor.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major evangelical Christian university has suspended a tenured professor \u00a0 A major evangelical Christian university has suspended a tenured professor after she argued that Christians and Muslims \u201cworship the same God\u201d and donned a hijab to express solidarity with Muslims.
