I support the demands of @geo3550 for accommodations if they cannot work in person or because of the needs of a loved one. I also support their fight to roll back the massive increase in police spending at UofM. I hope the University works with GEO to quickly resolve this.

#SCOTUS is hearing a case today that will determine if coaches of sports teams in public schools can require student-athletes to pray with them. If they rule for the coach here, students will face additional pressure to conform. Prayer in school is against religious freedom.
