Meg Mott
After twenty years of teaching political theory and constitutional law to Marlboro College undergraduates, Meg Mott has taken her love of argument to the general public.
The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion. The Fourteenth Amendment affords all persons equal protection under the law. What happens when those two rights collide, as happened in the Masterpiece Cake case? Must protections for religious liberties come at the expense of non-discrimination statutes?
This presentation considers the unlikely coalition between advocates for the LGBTQ community and members of the Church of Latter Day Saints. In 2015, these political enemies became practical allies, creating a law that required no one to compromise their deepest values. Could it be that religious and sexual minorities may have more in common than activists on both sides allow us to think?
