#ADF is a full-throated, highly effective combatant in the #CultureWars, w/particular — & to many people, particularly offensive — views about #abortion & #LGBTQ+ #rights. It argued in favor of #criminalizing homosexual conduct & against #gays in the #military. It #litigated cases defending the rights of #Christian bakers & website designers to refuse to provide services for #SameSex weddings; it’s in #court right now arguing that the abortion drug #Mifepristone should be taken off the market.

All of this is w/in #ADF’s #constitutional rights. But forcing #lawyers to submit to #indoctrination by ADF embodies the antithesis of #FirstAmendment values…. Somehow, #Starr is exquisitely sensitive to a perceived #bias against Carter (a SW #FlightAttendant who sent #graphic #antiabortion msgs to a fellow flight attendant) —though there’s scant #evidence SW was motivated by animus toward her faith— &resolutely oblivious to the offensiveness of required reeducation training at the hands of ADF.
