In this week's World magazine, Marvin Olasky interviews Mike Adams, who as a conservative Christian professor with tenure, is an outspoken "odd man in" at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. (He's also occasionally written for BreakPoint Online.)
Even if you are not involved in academia as I am, you will find Mike Adams' story revealing regarding the challenges that many Bible-believing Christians face in higher education.

{actionbar} Have we taken religious liberty for granted? In universities and school campuses across the country, Christians are having their rights taken away.
In another case, a 15-year-old Wisconsin student was threatened and verbally abused by school superintendent of Shawano High School for writing an op-ed in opposion to gay adoption. Ironically, the article was a school assignment.
Five or six years ago Focus on the Family released “The Truth Project” DVD series, and I went through it as a discussion leader of a small group. I haven’t looked at it since, so when a friend of mine said a group was going to go through it and invited me, I agreed.

Late last week I had a chance to see a new film called October Baby, set to open in theaters March 23. The movie tells the story of a college student who belatedly learns that she was adopted -- and that she's a survivor of abortion.
