The University of Arkansas rescinded a job offer for Emily Suski, a prospective law school dean, after she signed an amicus brief in our Supreme Court case supporting a transgender teen banned from playing sports. State officials can't punish public employees for their opinions and legal advocacy.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
