Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t listen to Dr. Zev Zelenko about Covid-19. Don’t be a Cuomo. Dr. Zelenko’s new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals come highly recommended by many doctors.
The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled recently in favor of philosophy professor Nicholas Meriwether’s First Amendment rights at Shawnee State University—and rightly so.
Article by Nicole Russell from Daily Signal.
The appellate court also reversed a lower court’s dismissal of his lawsuit against university officials.
Shawnee officials had punished Meriwether because he refused to accede to a biologically male student’s demand to be referred to as a woman, complete with a female name and feminine pronouns, in accordance with the Portsmouth, Ohio, school’s policy, announced in 2016.
The court ruled March 26 that the university had clearly violated Meriwether’s First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion. Meriwether is a devout Christian.
The court’s ruling assailed officials at Shawnee State for bending to the cause of the day of the LGBT mob, which currently includes twisting language to fit a woke agenda.
“Traditionally, American universities have been beacons of intellectual diversity and academic freedom,” the 6th Circuit wrote in its opinion in Meriwether v. The Trustees of Shawnee State University:
They have prided themselves on being forums where controversial ideas are discussed and debated. And they have tried not to stifle debate by picking sides.
But Shawnee State chose a different route: It punished a professor for his speech on a hotly contested issue. And it did so despite the constitutional protections afforded by the First Amendment.
The district court dismissed the professor’s free-speech and free-exercise claims. We see things differently and reverse.
It’s worth noting in this case that Meriwether had been a fixture at the school for 25 years and hadn’t had an incident until one obviously male student informed the professor that he must from then on be referred to as a woman.
Whether you’ve been jabbed or you’ve been exposed to potential vaccine shedding, you need to look at Dr. Zelenko’s new Z-DTox. Recover your health by making your immune system clean, resilient, and resistant.
After this initial encounter and new information, Meriwether informed the appropriate school authorities, and they worked out a compromise that he initially proposed.
The court’s ruling refers to the transgender student as “Doe,” and in the proposed compromise, “[Meriwether] would keep using pronouns to address most students in class, but would refer to Doe using only Doe’s last name.”
The ruling noted that “Doe remained dissatisfied,” complained again, and this time, Meriwether was informed he had to abide by the school’s official policy—with no compromises—or he would receive disciplinary action.
Meriwether continued to call the transgender student by the student’s last name. The student participated often in class and received a high grade.
Nonetheless, the student complained and eventually school officials filed a Title IX report accusing Meriwether of “creating a hostile environment” and then later placed a written warning in his file.
In short, the case showed Meriwether went to great lengths to accommodate the student. It also showed what lengths the student and the school went to to vilify him.
Happily, Meriwether and the First Amendment prevailed.
That’s good news on many fronts, including for those who want the First Amendment to retain its authority everywhere—including at smaller colleges like Shawnee subject to leftist indoctrination. As much as Shawnee administration officials tried to violate Meriwether’s First Amendment rights, they failed.

It’s also good news in that this appears to be a landmark decision in a case that perfectly exemplifies where transgender issues are colliding with personal autonomy and religious liberties.
Because the court took it seriously, reversing the lower court’s decision, it enables us to observe clearly where the battle lines are drawn in a distinctive way so that everyone can understand the importance of these issues going forward.
That’s exactly what Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson predicted through his similar experience several years ago before becoming famous in America. He refused to be compelled by the Canadian government to call someone by “their” preferred name or pronoun or else face punishment.
He was excoriated for holding the line on language, something that the LGBT movement and the mainstream media downplayed then and now as trite.
They know it isn’t, which is why they push this agenda—and why Peterson and now Meriwether have held the line. The 6th Circuit’s ruling vindicates Meriwether’s struggle, even while mirroring Peterson’s.
Peterson recently interviewed Abigail Shrier, author of the 2020 book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.” Shrier described the California insurance commissioner’s new policy that states that a double mastectomy of the healthy breasts of a biological woman who “identifies” as male would no longer be referred to as cosmetic, but rather as something that “corrects abnormal structures.”
“This is the corruption of language,” Shrier said. Peterson agreed. “It was the corruption of language that I objected to four years ago because it has consequences,” he said.
Peterson and Shrier could not be more correct, and the Meriwether case demonstrates that. In being punished for refusing to kowtow to a student’s illogical demands, he was forced to give in or sue.

Shawnee State is complicit in throwing gasoline on the fire of the culture wars by yielding to the pressure of the disproportionately influential LGBT movement.
As Peterson explains, language is associated with action. So, if a professor can be compelled by a student or a school administration to use speech that is illogical, inconsistent, or unnecessary, that opens up the possibilities to further abuse of language and further punitive action.
That’s why the court’s ruling is so important and a breath of fresh air in this now-toxic environment, in which the LGBT movement seeks to quash a person’s right to hold his or her own views and to speak the absolute truth in accordance with those beliefs.
Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder.

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.

- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
