NWI's Local Culture Wars

The "culture wars" have hit NWI and Purdue Calumet in full-force.  Recently, a local paper, The Times, reported a story about a former student, a practicing Christian and member of the LDS, who is suing Purdue Calumet for religious harassment.  This story has produced considerable local interest, judging by the number of "comments" it has generated.

But, this story is even more explosive than that.  It has all the "trappings" of a national controversy.

The former student is being represented by a national organization, the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF).  It is speculation on my part, but I would think that the ADF has many requests for assistance and that it has real choices about what cases it decides to pursue. This leads me to surmise that the ADF thinks that there is a legitimate case here.  One needs to remember that Purdue University Calumet's decision makers are not spending their own money if they harass and behave badly; they are spending the taxpayers money.  So there is no incentive for them to minimize the negative consequences.  ADF on the other hand has many lawyers, volunteers and money; nonetheless it is theirs to manage and they only get more if they win and have an effect.

Indeed, the story has already gone national through Prof. Mike Adams (of Townhall.com) who has written a series of columns about it.  Fascinating stuff. 

I don't know how this case will end.  But I know a thing or two about university "ordained" harassment and discrimination in the pursuit of stifling unapproved and unpopular (i.e. religious, conservative, Republican, Godly, etc.) free speech.  I too work at a university. Oh the stories I have to tell.

UPDATE: Part five by Prof. Adams here.
