John and Maria discuss the significance of important court cases decided this week. One, involving Jack Phillips, challenges religious freedom in the public life. Another protects the freedom of non-profit organizations to offer services while guided by religious convictions.
Maria introduced a segment on Juneteenth, a recently minted holiday by the Biden administration that helps us recognize the challenges Americans faced at the hands of slavery.
John then gives commentary on a recent canceling of a Nigerian author who recently referred to a trans-woman as a trans-woman.

Reading the Printed Word: “Cognitive scientists have discovered that reading is not only a visual activity, but also a bodily activity,” Tobin writes. “A book is a physical object . . . you see and feel the texture of its pages.
