Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is again warning of a growing threat to the nation. In her lone dissent Tuesday in Chiles v. Salazar, Jackson observed that "to be completely frank, no one knows what will happen now."The ominous tone stemmed from the fact that free speech had prevailed over state-imposed orthodoxy in a Colorado case. Eight justices, including her two liberal colleagues, ruled that Colorado could not prevent licensed counselors from "any practice or treatment" that "attempts or purports to change" a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity.The win for free speech was catastrophic for Jackson and many on

Reform Judaism even encourages adding modern political symbols to the seder plate, like olives in solidarity with Palestinians, oranges to symbolize LGBTQ+ inclusion, fair-trade chocolate to represent labor rights, and acorns to honor American Indians.I'm

On March 31, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in my case, Chiles v. Salazar. It concerns a Colorado law that forbids licensed counselors like me from talking with gender-confused kids to help them regain comfort with their bodies — even if that’s what the kids want. I filed suit with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom to challenge this censorship, and the justices have now decided 8-1 in my favor.It’s reassuring to have the court protect freedom of speech. While Colorado officials may honestly think that a boy can become a girl, our country was founded on the right to

Early in March, the United States Supreme Court in Mirabelli v. Bonta dramatically shifted the balance of power between the ideologically driven bureaucrats running America's public schools and the parents and students they are to serve. The court was unmistakably clear — as it was last year in Mahmoud v. Taylor — parents possess the fundamental right to raise and educate their children. Period.  Schools should not facilitate a student's "gender transition" without parental notification and consent. Just days after Mirabelli, the left-leaning Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously held in Anderson v. Crouch that West Virginia's decision to exclude sex-change surgeries from Medicaid coverage did not
