New Media Coverage

In addition to the previous articles we've shared with you (e.g., https://tinyurl.com/yc8nndb3 from The Roys Report), we want to let you know that the media continue to cover this story. New reports now appear here: 

The Dayton Daily News: https://tinyurl.com/yc7yc3tt
(The same article also appears in The Springfield News-Sun) 

The Roys Report podcast with Dr. Diane Langberg: https://tinyurl.com/yc8nndb3

Religious News Service: https://tinyurl.com/ybelbgos
(One error exists in this report, which says Dr. Moore was not allowed in the locker room at all. Dr. White's blog actually says Dr. Moore was permitted in the locker room as long as other coaches who knew about his story accompanied him, too.)

We've been informed that Christianity Today will also publish an article this week.

New Blog Posts

The bloggers who first broke the story continue to reveal more disturbing evidence (e.g., Moore did teach CU students in his first year, White knew everything prior to hiring Moore, etc.):

This last article is particularly interesting because this blog has been tracking the fundamentalist SBC takeover at CU since 2012. Thus, it not only reports on this present problem but also provides a timeline for everything that has happened leading up to Dr. Moore's hiring and firing at CU. Context is key. This article also sums up the whole story well: "All this to say that White’s explanation of why Moore was fired six days ago is nonsensical, and a study in evasion. It seems obvious that Moore was fired because, thanks to intrepid bloggers, the story is now in the public realm."
