5 Religious-Liberty Cases to Watch at the Supreme Court This Term (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Supreme Court will open its new term on the first Monday of October with a docket that is shaping up to be a syllabus in religious liberty and parental rights, and that is no coincidence. For several years running, the court has kept returning to the same terrain: believers’ right to practice their faith without being pushed to the margins of public life and parents’ right to direct their children’s upbringing. The docket is not even finished being assembled; the court will add cases through
Florida’s Catholic School Vaccine Fight Doesn’t Need a Winner and a Loser (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Alongside classic literature, students will encounter selections from Scripture: Jonah and David and Goliath in the early grades, building later
US Case Law Draws Distinctions on Public-School Teachers’ Free Speech (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It may surprise many Americans to learn that U.S. teachers don’t automatically have greater free-speech protections than a country without a First Amendment. Sarah Morse, an American working as a history teacher at a high school in Arbroath, Scotland, responded to students, telling them she is Catholic and opposes abortion, when her teenage pupils asked her directly what she believed as they were studying Nazism. She told them they were free to have their own opinions. The Angus Council fired he
