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.
