The price of opinion
A friend and local political blogging legend “has resigned” his PR job at Belmont University here in Nashville, presumably over an article in the alternative weekly newspaper that attacked him over an insensitive cartoon he posted on one of his websites. The local blogosphere leaped to his defense (well some did), but it was apparently too late.
Bill Hobbs is a good man who I don’t think deserves this. If it turns out the university fired him — which is certainly how it looks — it would have to go down as one of the most cowardly events in the history of Christian academia. It is, however, a lesson in exercising care in today’s politically correct (and overly sensitive) world. What he did may have been stupid, but I don’t think it should’ve cost him his job.
