Petition, fundraiser launched for Pro-Trump Professor fired by Baptist seminary

Dr. Robert Lopez was fired by Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS) the day after Thanksgiving. They promised him pay through the end of December, but after he revealed the seminary made demonstrably false statements, they cut his pay off about December 4. Merry Christmas to Lopez and his family from the Christ-like leadership of our Southern Baptist seminary!

Lopez is a pro-Trump, conservative professor often targeted by the Left for his promotion of traditional marriage. Now, he’s experiencing persecution by a Southern Baptist seminary.

The petition is available here. It begins:

“We the undersigned wish to protest against the unjust and unethical treatment of Professor Robert Oscar Lopez who was abruptly removed from his teaching job at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Texas USA without cause.
