BREMERTON, Wash.—Fans from both teams cheered as Joe Kennedy knelt in silent prayer for 10 seconds at the 50-yard line. It was the moment of culmination after a more than 7-year legal battle over prayer that ended with a victory for Kennedy at the Supreme Court. “I used to run marathons quite a bit and you never think you’re going to get to the end, and when you finally see that finish line… that’s what tonight was,” Kennedy told The Daily Signal at the end of his first game back…

Over 100 former law clerks of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas have written an open letter defending him from accusations of ethics violations. In the letter, the clerks wrote that Thomas’ integrity is “unimpeachable” and that he’s never wavered from his independence on the court. The letter recounted Thomas’ life story of being descended from African slaves, raised by his grandfather in segregated Georgia, going to law school, then eventually making his way onto the Supreme Court. “It is a story that should be told in every American classroom, at every American kitchen table, in every…

A Missouri trial court declined Friday to block a law preventing transgender interventions for minors, citing “conflicting and unclear” medical evidence on the effectiveness of so-called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. “The science and medical evidence is conflicting and unclear,” Judge Stephen R. Ohmer ruled. “Accordingly, the evidence raises more questions than answers.” Three Missouri families who claim their children identify as the gender opposite their biological sex sued the state’s Republican governor, Michael Parson, challenging the constitutionality of a law he signed June 7. The families had asked the…

A Hysterical Hit Job on Florida’s History Standards

History, Florida's, standards, Hysterical0 comment

As someone who has taught American history in a Florida school, I’ve followed with particular interest the controversy over the state’s curriculum regarding the so-called “benefits” of slavery. The way this issue has been demagogued is nothing short of outrageous. Florida officials last year created a working group “to review the state’s education standards relating to African American history.” The working group’s members were recruited based on expertise in teaching K-12 history, particularly black history, in Florida. There were no political, ideological or identity group requirements. Six of the 13…

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL — Tennessee’s third-largest city launched a council to oppose “hate” and “extremism” in 2018, and that council has repeatedly collaborated with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, which is notorious for branding mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits “hate groups,” putting them on a “hate map” alongside the Ku Klux Klan. Then-Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke, a Democrat, launched the Council Against Hate in 2018. In doing so, he referenced a July 2015 shooting in the Tennessee city. “A city of creators will find new ways to…
