Season 5 Episode 8: The Professor's Preferred Pronouns

September 04, 2021

On the heels of our previous discussion about transgender students' rights in schools, this episode is about the rights of teachers and professors who have strong religious objections to using students' preferred pronouns. Professor Meriwether was fired after he declined to use a student's preferred pronouns, eventually leading to a lawsuit against his former employer. Join Lisa, Miriam, and Elizabeth as we take a deep dive into Meriwether v. Hartop, a fascinating case out of the Sixth Circuit that offers  insight into the complicated and nuanced legal issues that arise when civil rights collide.
