Professor Hill Discusses Masterpiece Cakeshop Decision on WRTV News, WIBC Radio
06/06/2018
Professor John Hill talked about the United States Supreme Court decision in the case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission for WRTV News and radio station WIBC.
The case, which was decided on June 4, centered around a baker who cited his religious beliefs when he declined to create a cake for a same-sex couple's wedding. The decision does little more than "kick the can down the road," Professor Hill said in the television news story. The decision is a reminder to rights commissions to be even-handed in their actions, he said in the radio story.
Professor Hill holds a J.D. and a doctorate in philosophy, both of which he received from Georgetown University. In addition to being a professor of law and a Grimes Fellow at IU McKinney, where he teaches constitutional law, civil procedure, torts, jurisprudence and ethical and legal issues at the end of life, and an adjunct professor of philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at IUPUI.
