:59 sec video:“Am I to believe that black Americans, who … were victorious in the Civil Rights movement and now sit in the highest levels of this government, can't figure out how to get a free ID to secure their votes? The idea … is not just insane. It is insulting.” https://t.co/MO4qYo161J— Jeff Jacoby (@Jeff_Jacoby) April 23, 2021

Court’s College Pronoun Ruling Is Win for Right to Affirm Reality, Speak FreelyThis is a HUGE victory to celebrate https://t.co/790IJgaTB3— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) April 23, 2021
The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled recently in favor of philosophy professor Nicholas Meriwether’s First Amendment rights at Shawnee State University—and rightly so.
The appellate court also reversed a lower court’s dismissal of his lawsuit against university officials.
Shawnee officials had punished Meriwether because he refused to accede to a biologically male student’s demand to be referred to as a woman, complete with a female name and feminine pronouns, in accordance with the Portsmouth, Ohio, school’s policy, announced in 2016.
The court ruled March 26 that the university had clearly violated Meriwether’s First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion. Meriwether is a devout Christian.

The Supreme Court on Thursday made it easier to sentence juvenile murderers to life in prison without parole, ruling against a Mississippi inmate who killed his grandfather when he was 15.
The question was whether courts must find that a youth offender has no capacity for change before sentencing him to life without parole. Writing for a majority of five, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the answer is no, a defeat for defendants across the country fighting life without parole sentences imposed while they were minors.
Thursday's decision breaks with a modern trend of clemency toward youth offenders at the High Court. It also reflects a continuing rightward shift in cruel and unusual punishment cases. The conservative justices signaled a similar rupture with precedents that favor death row inmates in a 2019 case about capital punishment.
