Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss Mark Zuckerberg’s revelation that the White House pressured Facebook to censor content in 2021. What does this mean for free speech and religious expression in the digital space? We explore the broader implications of government influence over social media platforms, the ethical concerns of content moderation, and why some believe that no public platform is truly neutral.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Kuilema v. Calvin University, where a former professor is suing after his contract was not renewed for officiating a same-sex wedding, which violated the school’s religious policies. We discuss the legal and ethical questions surrounding religious institutions, employment rights, and whether faith-based schools should have the right to enforce their beliefs among faculty.
About the Show: Faith & Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
