Washington Post Legitimizes "War on Christians"
Frank G. Kauffman was teaching a course in social work at Missouri State University in 2005 when he gave an assignment that sparked a lawsuit and nearly destroyed his academic career. If you just read those opening paragraphs, you might feel some serious sympathy for Emily Brooker. The article goes on to cite an important study that has an "'explosive' statistic: 53 percent of its sample of 1,200 college and university faculty members said they have "unfavorable" feelings toward evangelical Christians." Only after you read this "explosive" statistic - if you are inclined to read more -- do you hear a counter viewpoint from one professor: Cary Nelson, president of the American Association of University Professors, disagreed. What the poll reflects, he said, is "a political and cultural resistance, not a form of religious bias." But the real shocker comes at the very end. After getting the impression that the ADF is an admirable law organization helping this poor student fight the coercive behavior of a professor forcing her to advocate for something against her religious beliefs do you hear the professors viewpoint: Kauffman, who stepped down as director of Missouri State's master of social work program, said he has been "vilified around the world" as anti-religious, when in fact he is a former assistant pastor and youth minister in the Assemblies of God, a Missouri-based Pentecostal denomination.
