_Every day, employees at Aurora Pro Services, a North Carolina home-repair company, would gather for a mandatory prayer meeting, according to a federal complaint. They stood in a circle while leaders, including the company owner, allegedly read Bible scriptures and prayed. In the circle, the owner required Aurora's employees to recite the Lord’s Prayer in unison and requested prayers for poorly performing employees, the complaint alleged.

... "If you do not participate, that is okay, you don’t have to work here,” Aurora’s owner allegedly told McGaha in front of other employees. “You are getting paid to be here.”
McGaha was fired in September 2020, six days after his second request to skip the meetings, according to the complaint_

Before an anti-trans event at a Vergennes school, a prominent Christian law firm issued a warning

Hosting an anti-trans speaker in a public school would tell “queer and trans youth that they are not welcome in public spaces,” Amanda Rohdenburg, associate director of the LGBTQ+ advocacy nonprofit Outright Vermont, told VTDigger on June 16, four days before Heyer’s talk.

Behind the scenes, however, school district officials were receiving a different kind of message about the event: warnings, from the high-profile Christian law firm Liberty Counsel, against canceling it.
