Attorney General Todd Rokita is forging an alliance with counterparts in 17 states, taking a stance on what he views as the protection of religious liberty in the workplace. The case centers around John Kluge, a former Brownsburg High School teacher whose resignation was prompted by the school's demand he adhere to using the preferred pronouns of transgender students, a requirement conflicting with his personal beliefs.
