Yes, you read that correctly. This is a classic OA deep dive, in which Liz and Andrew break down a disturbing sanctions order issued by a Trump-appointed judge in Texas who, all on his own, decided to order Southwest Airlines to fly out a bigot from the Alliance Defending Freedom to teach their lawyers how to be bigots.

It's bad.

Can a court order me to attend religious sensitivity training IF my own, sincerely held religious beliefs, dictate that I cannot, on pain of loss of my immortal soul to the hell fires, be sensitive or, even, accepting of other religions or, indeed, any religion?

Tim Whatley

In terms of attending training like this, how specific is it that you need to pay attention? I suspect this wouldn’t work, but would the lawyers get in trouble if they wore Calvin and Hobbes style eyeball glasses and slept or listened to Willie Nelson on closed headphones like Ron Swanson. If there was an exam, could I write “Something, something, Jesus” for every answer? If this is going to be a thing, I’d like people to be aware of just exactly how little respect they could get away with. Ideally you could get away with simply being in the room and doing whatever else you wanted to express your contempt for the “instructors.”

I'd be tempted to ask Liz' question: how many people have they defended who weren't evangelical Christians?

C’mon

I am finally settling in to listening to this breakdown tonight 😊😎but on a totally different bent I just watched PainKiller …any chance for a breakdown on the Supreme Court recent ruling on the Purdue BK case?
