A Trump-appointed judge in Texas ordered Southwest Airlines lawyers to take a religious liberty training course by a far-right Christian group.
The group’s website claims that it was founded by Christian leaders to “defend religious freedom before it was too late,” and that it has spent decades fightingLegal experts and advocates have expressed horror at Starr’s ruling.
“It’s no surprise to see an extremist Federalist Society judge push far-right views from the bench, but forcing lawyers to train with a designated hate group is a new low. Groups like Alliance Defending Freedom and the Federalist Society want to strip Americans of their rights and undermine democracy — and Judge Starr is doing their bidding in the courtroom,” Accountable.
“This is pretty frightening. A Trump judge has ordered Southwest’s lawyers to take a religious freedom ‘training’ by the far-right group Alliance Defending Freedom,” Stern tweeted. “If upheld, Trump Judge Brantley Starr’s order would let courts force lawyers to undergo religious indoctrination sessions from an extremist group that may well contradict their own deeply held spiritual beliefs and freedom of speech. This cannot possibly be legal.
