School Threatens Kids Over Teacher's Pronouns

Welcome to the Napa Legal Podcast, where we discuss religious liberty from the perspective of faith-based nonprofits.In this week's episode, Frank DeVito and Kyle Nazareth discuss a North Carolina elementary school that refused to let Christian parents opt their children out of a music class taught by a male teacher who identifies as a woman; the Ninth Circuit's full-court rehearing of Union Gospel Mission of Yakima v. Brown, a case asking whether Christian ministries can require all employees, not just ministers, to share their faith; and the Supreme Court's decision to hear Missionaries of St. John the Baptist v. Frederick, a Kentucky case over a zoning board blocking a Marian grotto on church property, in which Napa Legal filed an amicus brief urging the Court to take the case.Lawyers: applications for the Good Counselor Project, Napa Legal's fellowship for Christian attorneys, are open until December 1.
