Listen "Conversion Therapy and Free Speech"
Episode Synopsis
Editor’s Note: This episode was previously uploaded with the incorrect audio. We apologize for the error.
Sarah Isgur and David French kick off the episode by examining a conversion therapy case before the Supreme Court—one that, surprisingly, few seem to be talking about. Where are the sensational headlines claiming that the rights of LGBT youth are under direct threat, or that religious freedom is on the verge of extinction?
The Agenda:—‘Independent as hogs on ice.’—Chiles v. Salazar—Viewpoint discrimination in therapy—Justice Sonia Sotomayor's interesting hypothetical—‘There are multiple failures of IQ tests that have led to this moment.’—Mail bag!—State courts v. federal courts
