Professor Nicholas Meriwether sued Shawnee State University over the school’s demand that professors use a student’s preferred pronouns.
Meriwether argued the university’s demand was an egregious assault on his freedom of speech and religious beliefs.“After a three-year fight against the university, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit reportedly ruled in 2021 that Meriwether’s rights had been violated,” Fox 11 Tyson Langhofer, the ADF attorney representing Meriwether in court, said hopefully this case sends a message to universities.
“It is done, and we are hopeful it sends a message to all universities and professors that, you know, we shouldn’t be compelling professors to say things they don’t believe,” Langford said. Shawnee State University reportedly punished Meriwether in 2018 for not addressing a transgender student with the student’s preferred gender pronouns.
