Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss Liberty University’s $14 million fine for violating the Clery Act. The university failed to report campus crimes and mishandled sexual assault cases, creating a culture where victims felt silenced. This discussion highlights the implications for campus safety, transparency, and the responsibilities of educational institutions under federal law.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Civil Rights Department of California v. Tastries. This legal battle centers around Cathy Miller, a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple due to her religious beliefs. The discussion addresses the tension between religious freedom and anti-discrimination laws, examining the broader implications for business owners and civil rights.
About the Show: Faith & Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
