A federal judge in Dallas has ordered three in-house lawyers for Southwest Airlines to attend classes with Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal advocacy group, to purge itself of civil contempt for “inverting” the language in a court-ordered message.
U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr of the Northern District of Texas said the lawyers must take religious liberty classes from the conservative Christian nonprofit that has successfully represented a cake bakerand a website designer who did not want to provide services for same-sex weddings.
