One team at the Solar Decathlon this year was particularly focused on a very important community - those military veterans returning home from wartime trauma with symptoms of PTSD. Nevada is reported to have 200,o00 veterans living in the State, making their project particularly relevant.

We all benefit from neutral and general laws, just as those adjectives suggest. The Supreme Court protected such laws in Employment Division v. Smith, its seminal free exercise case. The current Supreme Court, however, is undermining neutral and general laws in the name of a new theory of religious freedom adopted in its shadow docket COVID case, Tandon v. Newsom. This new theory is being sold as a “most favored nation” theory; the problem with making religious entities “most favored nations” in our country is that it requires the recognition that some are less favored than they are, which means we must abandon the common good for their specific agendas. We oppose this theory now, and do not want it to be adopted in cases that the Court hears in full in the future, including this term.
