Ken Starr: Religious liberty in crisis – here's how we defend America’s culture of freedom

College of the Ozarks – a Christian liberal arts college – proudly refers to itself as "Hard Work U." Students don’t pay tuition, they work for it. Enter the Biden administration’s demand for religious schools to open residence halls, bathrooms and the like to members of the opposite sex.

Enter the Biden administration’s demand for religious schools to open residence halls, bathrooms and the like to members of the opposite sex. This the college, in keeping with its principles, could not obey. Led by its legendary president, Jerry Davis, the college filed suit in federal court in the Show-Me State to put a halt to this disruptive culturally-driven intrusion by Washington, D.C., bureaucrats.  Over the past four decades, the Supreme Court has rallied to support claims of religious freedom as against the powers of government at all levels.  The college’s bold legal challenge reflects the rapidly exploding clash across the nation between governmental forces and religious institutions, as well as individuals of faith and conscience. We are engulfed by bitter cultural conflicts, with secular world views in Washington, D.C., state capitals, and local governments clamoring for secularist supremacy as against traditional faith-informed perspectives.
