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.

Big Ten primer: Indiana’s greatest football moment
The Indiana Hoosiers take pride in their basketball. They don’t have a rich and lengthy history in college football. They have won the Big Ten championship exactly twice in more than 120 years of competitive football. That long run of futility at least makes it easier to identify the program’s greatest moment. The 1945 Indiana team went unbeaten and tied once, finishing fourth in the final Associated Press Poll.

Eric Holcomb said it’s crucial that they get on board with the U.S. 30 freeway project. “I think it’s critically important that 30 comes to fruition, and it’s an immensely important corridor that speaks to not just the potential but the demand for growth in an area like this,” he said. “I mentioned how special this community is.
