    A statement on Wheaton College’s website Tuesday said Provost Stanton Jones has initiated a termination-for-cause proceeding regarding Larycia Hawkins.

    The action follows efforts by college officials and Hawkins to work out their differences. The private evangelical school says those efforts have reached an impasse.

    The college has said it placed Hawkins on leave last month because of statements she made on social media about similarities between Islam and Christianity. Hawkins also donned a headscarf to demonstration solidarity with Muslims.

    A spokeswoman for Hawkins didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment on the college’s move.

    I can think of more outrageous comments than suggesting that Christians and Muslims worship the same G-d. What’s the issue here?

    If they are different Gds then how many are there. Do they talk to each other? Are they friends?

    Diversity of views and opinions? Overrated, and no place for such things in higher learning.
