Good morning from Washington, where some in Congress make excuses for the intolerance of gender orthodoxy. Case in point, as Nicole Russell writes: Two educators in Oregon face termination for suggesting a more tolerant approach in schools. In Arizona, a new law protects government employees from racist indoctrination. Plus: Terence Jeffrey on the Supreme Court’s abandonment of a florist who hoped to run her business in keeping with her faith; and Roger Simon on how LA is beginning to operate like pre-Nazi Germany. On this date in 1925, a high school science teacher goes on trial in Tennessee, accused of violating state law by teaching the theory of evolution. Enjoy the weekend.
