The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday heard oral arguments in Meriwether v. Hartop.(Audio of full oral arguments.) In the case, an Ohio federal district court dismissed a lawsuit by a college philosophy professor who was disciplined by a university when he refused to abide by the school's non-discrimination policy. The professor refused to address a transgender student using the student's preferred gender identity title and pronouns, and instead used only the student's name. (See prior posting.)
