Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxis.

Folks, welcome to the Eric Mattaxas show.

As you know, I'm a fan of religious liberty. Yeah, that's right. I said it. And, you know, I'm fan of those people who get behind religious liberty. For example, the Alliance defending freedom. Oh, yes, you've heard about them. I wanted to talk to Tyson Langhofer.

He's a senior counsel with ADF to kind of get an update on what's cooking.

Tyson, welcome back.

Thanks for having me here.

Well, I am a big fan of ADF.

And I guess I wanted to talk to you about the Meriwether case, Dr. Nicholas Meriwether.

Tell my audience who is that and what is this case that ADF is involved with right now. Dr. Nicholas Meriwether, tell my audience who is that and what is this case that ADF is

involved with right now. Well, Dr. Meriwether is a professor of philosophy and religion at

Shawnee State University, been there for over 20 years and has a spotless record up until a

couple of years ago when he had a student, a male student in his class

who demanded to be referred to as a female. And Dr. Meriwether indicated that, well, I can't do that,

but I will refer to you by whatever name you, you know, choose. And I'll just avoid the use of

pronouns. The student complained of the university, the university investigated, and found

that Dr. Meriwether had created a hostile environment, and they put a letter in his file,

saying that he had violated their non-discrimination policy and that if he did this in the future,

that he would be further punished.

So we filed a lawsuit and just recently had some great news from the Sixth Circuit.

You had good news from the, now ADF, you guys are pretty good.

So I'm never surprised to hear good news, but I'm always pleased.

So tell us what happened.
