Roger Severino, Vice President of Domestic Policy at The Heritage Foundation, is our guest in today’s episode. We discuss the recent government pronoun policies released in all federal agencies and how they effect all federal employees, contractors, and average American citizens. Roger outlines a path forward to hold the government accountable for their gross overreach of power which includes filing Religious Accommodations, 1st Amendment violation complaints, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) complaints immediately.
