"This [law] professor is a practicing Christian, deeply closeted in the workplace..."

"...he is convinced that if his colleagues in academia knew of his faith, they would make it very hard for him.... He agreed to speak with me" � writes Rod Dreher � "about the Indiana situation on condition that I not identify him by name or by institution."
�The fact that Mike Pence can�t articulate [religious liberty], and Asa Hutchinson doesn�t care and can�t articulate it, is shocking,� Kingsfield [a pseudonym] said. �Huckabee gets it and Santorum gets it, but they�re marginal figures. Why can�t Republicans articulate this? We don�t have anybody who gets it and who can unite us. Barring that, the craven business community will drag the Republican Party along wherever the culture is leading, and lawyers, academics, and media will cheer because they can�t imagine that they might be wrong about any of it.�...

Christians should put their families on a �media fast,� he says. �Throw out the TV. Limit Netflix. You cannot let in contemporary stuff. It�s garbage. It�s a sewage pipe into your home. So many parents think they�re holding the line, but they let their kids have unfettered access to TV, the Internet, and smartphones. You can�t do that. And if you can�t trust that the families of the kids that your kids play with are on the same team with all this, then find another peer group among families that are,� he said. �It really is that important.�
