"FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE, & 'WHAT ARE YOUR PRONOUNS?'"

In this episode of Thoughtful Christianity, Dr. Corey Miller speaks to Dr. Nicholas Meriwether and his attorney, Travis Barham. Dr. Meriwether, a faculty member at Shawnee State University, is involved with a lawsuit with Shawnee State. A disgruntled student in his class demanded that Dr. Meriwether call the person by their chosen pronoun -- what followed is a dispute over freedom of speech, mind, and the recent movement that leads some to believe that disagreement and debate is equal to hate.
