As noted at the Religion Clause, John Kluge has sued Brownsburg Community school district after he lost his job because he refused to call students by their “preferred names.” The school had allowed him to use last names for some time, but apparently decided that wasn’t good enough.

This is similar to the case of Peter Vlaming, a high school teacher fired for refusing to use opposite-gender pronouns (though he did use preferred names), and Dr. Nicholas Meriwether who has sued his school for requiring teachers to use “preferred pronouns.”

Naturally, the same question would soon have arisen in the US military, absent President Trump’s reversal of the Obama Administration’s policy change.

Will these be the next Masterpiece Cakeshop cases?
