I am extremely disappointed at Wheaton College's actions regarding Professor Hawkins. Even though I received both a B.A. and an M.A. from Wheaton, I absolutely abhor the spirit of divisiveness exhibited in its decision to suspend Dr. Hawkins. It is attitudes like this that fuel right wing hostility, whether it be in Christian, Muslim, Jewish or other communities. It is great that Wheaton replaced its Crusader mascot with one less aggressive and violent. However, this current step places the institution squarely back in the camp of the conquistadors and crusaders. We should be in the business of building bridges, not burning them down. You should be deeply ashamed and chagrined.
