.@albertmohler tells @AP that he's
"polarizing only at the extremes" of Baptist life. That may be true, but it doesn't mean he's where he should be. The prophets were usually out of the mainstream & considered "extreme." wordandway.org/2021/01/24/som…
@albertmohler@AP What's troubling is Mohler thus implies Black Southern Baptists are "extreme" & out of mainstream. That sounds bit like attitude of SBTS's enslaver founders he calls "orthodox." He declares himself in mainstream & thus wishes to be voice on race without listening to Black voices
@albertmohler@AP What if whole lesson of debate over #CriticalRaceTheory is that the mainstream of Southern Baptist life that Mohler represents needs to listen more to Black voices? Rather than denouncing critics as extreme, perhaps he should listen to the voices crying in the SBC wilderness.
@albertmohler@AP .@pastordmack literally pushed the SBC to condemn the Confederate flag & White Supremacy & alt-Right. If that's "extreme" then we need more extremists & less of the same old "mainstream" SBC that backed slavery & segregation.

.@CharissaKoh of @WNGdotorg wrote about controversy at @SBUniv, but gave a lopsided, inaccurate take. I should know since no one has reported more about case over past 11 months. 1/
@CharissaKoh@WNGdotorg@SBUniv Article frames Clint Bass as hero, starting & ending with mini profile of him. And it relies heavily on his claims against his former colleagues, despite fact some claims already debunked. And investigation by trustees affirmed his firing (a fact not mentioned in article). 2/
@CharissaKoh@WNGdotorg@SBUniv Even more troubling, article quotes 2 alums backing Bass but none backing SBU & his former colleagues. This isn't balanced piece. There are many, many alumni who disagree with Bass & support profs he's attacked. If you can't find one, you're not paying attention or not trying. 3/
