Those are among the alarming implications of a recent federal court decision. Prof. Nicholas Meriwether of Shawnee State University, Ohio, refused to address a transgender student by the student’s preferred pronouns. Instead, while addressing all other students as “Mr.” or “Ms.,” he referred to the student by last name only. When he was disciplined for discrimination, he sued. He argued that, because of his religious and philosophical beliefs, he does not regard this student as female. Teachers “should not be compelled to say and teach things they don’t believe or risk being fired or disciplined.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit agrees with him. In Meriwether v. Hartop , it held that Shawnee State “punished a professor for his speech on a hotly contested issue.” Meriwether “has plausibly alleged that Shawnee State violated his … [Read more...] about Abuse as a constitutional right: The Meriwether case

close Video Tucker: It's clear public health experts are guided by politics 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host examines differing COVID guidance from leaders and health experts over the past year At this time last year, most Americans understood that social distancing was a form of punishment. " It’s not good for man to be alone ." That’s one of the very first observations in the book that forms the basis of Western civilization , and we've lived accordingly. Apart from the death penalty, the harshest things we do to criminals in this country include separating them from other people. Prisoners have chosen lethal injection over solitary confinement ; that's how badly human beings need to be close to one another.

French postmodernist philosopher Michel Foucault, whose writings have become central in modern woke ideology, has been accused of sexually abusing children as young as eight-years-old while living in Tunisia during the 1960s. Foucault, a vocal proponent of paedophilia in his writings, signed a petition to legalise sex with 13-year-old children in 1977.
