The Good Citizen Podcast #391 The Latest in the Pronoun Wars with Craig DeRoche
What happens when a teacher’s faith collides with a school’s pronoun policy?
I recently had the opportunity to join Craig DeRoche on The SoConCon Report to discuss the case of John Kluge. In 2018, Kluge resigned from Brownsburg Community School in Indiana after his religious exemption to a pronoun policy was revoked. His case is now headed to a jury, and the outcome could set a powerful precedent for religious liberty in classrooms nationwide.
In this episode, we unpack why this case matters for teachers, parents, and people of faith, and what it means for the future of religious freedom in America’s schools, including:
· Religious freedom at stake: Kluge’s fight against a school pronoun policy could shape how schools across the country handle faith-based accommodations.
· Legal insights: Why the court’s rejection of the school’s “emotional distress” claim is a key turning point.
· National implications: The outcome of this case may set a precedent for teachers, public employees, and people of faith navigating similar cultural battles.
