I Can See This Going All The Way To The Supreme Court

This is the type of case Sessions would love to have before the Supreme Court… “religious freedom!”

Ohio professor sues school, doesn't want to use transgender students' pronouns

A professor at Ohio's Shawnee State University is suing his superiors in federal court after he was punished for not referring to a transgender student by the pronouns she requested.

Nicholas Meriwether, who teaches religion and philosophy at the public university, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court Monday against the school's trustees and other officials stating they violated his freedom of speech, freedom of religion and due process.

Meriwether has taught at Shawnee State University since 1996. He says he always refers to all his students using "sir," "ma'am," "mister" or "miss" to foster an atmosphere of seriousness and mutual respect, according to the lawsuit.

And the professor knows all the right codewords.

"I am a Christian. As such, it is my sincerely held religious belief, based on the Bible’s teachings, that God created human beings as either male or female, that this gender is fixed in each person from the moment of conception, and that it cannot be changed,” Meriwether wrote.

The school denied his grievances.

“Do these freedoms supersede the rights of an individual, a student in this case, against discrimination by a public employee at a state-supported institution?" wrote Provost Jeffrey Bauer in his denial. "When provided with options to avoid discrimination and opposition to his religious beliefs, Dr. Meriwether chose to continue his disparate treatment of the student.”

As I said I think Trump and et al are going to get behind this case and run it up to the Supreme Court now that he has packed it with judges who put the Bible before the Constitution. I will bet that the court will rule that this violates the First Amendment. Reinterpreting 200 years of Supreme Court rulings about religion.
