Title: Is Your Personal Life Really Personal?
Topic: First Amendment Rights
Discussed by Travis Barham

Part 1 of 3
As an atheist, Dr. Mike Adams frequently received accolades from his
colleagues at the University of North Carolina – Willington. Dr. Adams was hired
as an assistant professor in 1993 and promoted him to associate professor in
1998.
However, after his conversion to Christianity in 2000, things turned ugly. Dr.
Adams’ new faith impacted his views on political and social issues.
Subsequently, the university subjected Adams to a campaign of academic
persecution that culminated in his denial of promotion to full professor,
despite an award-winning record of teaching, research, and service.
Listen in as Travis Barham, with Alliance Defending Freedom, discusses a recent
court decision in Dr. Adams’ favor.

Dr. Mike Adams was a frequent
blogger even before he became a Christian. He was always praised for his work
and often asked to give his opinion on various issues facing our nation. He was
well-respected.
When Dr. Adams became a born-again Christian, he continued to offer his opinion
– but from a very different point of view. His employers at UNC-Wilmington were
not pleased.
The jury hearing his discrimination case agreed that “an accomplished
professor’s religious and political views is no grounds for denying him a
promotion.”

The U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 4th Circuit wrote in 2011 that “no individual loses his
ability to speak as a private citizen by virtue of public employment.”
Dr. Adams’ columns addressed
topics such as academic freedom, civil rights, campus culture, sex, feminism,
abortion, homosexuality, religion, and morality. Such topics plainly touched on
issues of public, rather than private, concern.
This verdict is a huge victory for all Christians. For more on this and other
issues facing our nation, log on to
