Today, we are joined by Eric Baxter, the Vice President and Senior Counsel at Beckett Fund, a law firm specializing in religious liberty cases. In this episode, Eric and I delve deep into two landmark cases, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship v. University of Iowa and Business Leaders in Christ v. University of Iowa, that underscore the vital importance of protecting religious groups' rights on campuses. We also discuss Eric's current fight against Montgomery County, Maryland schools over parental rights and religious freedom, and explore broader issues like religious discrimination in public funding and legal battles shaping the landscape of religious liberty in the United States today.
