It’s Tuesday, June 18, 2019, and we’re getting ready for another exciting edition of Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, where each day we’re joined by America’s leaders, policy makers, and culture-shapers as we talk about the important issues of the day from a biblical worldview. Listen here live at 5:05 p.m. ET.
Today we’ll hear from:
- Denise Harle, Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian legal firm representing a student athlete in Connecticut who lost her chance at a scholarship when she was forced to compete against biological males who identified as female.
- Kelly Shackelford, President and Chief Counsel of First Liberty Institute, on the Supreme Court tossing out the Oregon Court of Appeals’ ruling against Aaron and Melissa Klein, Christian bakers who declined to create a cake for a same-sex “wedding,” and ordering the lower court to re-hear the case from the beginning, specifically in light of the 2018 Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling.
- Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at Family Research Council, on California legislation banning professional counselors from helping minors struggling against same-sex attractions.
- Rebecca Friedrichs, Author of “Standing up to Goliath: Battling State and National Teachers’ Unions for the Heart and Soul of Our Kids and Country,” on the California Teachers’ Association trying to pass off SPLC propaganda as “anti-bullying” curriculum.
