To remind you: Your Essay 4 second draft packet is due next week, on Wednesday, 4/15, by the start of class. This is a relatively early due date for your last essay. But ideally, I'd like to return your essays to you soon, and then you can hopefully make at least some major revisions before the end-of-semester revision cut-off, Wednesday, 4/29 (by the end of class on this date).
Going into next week, the only written work I'd like for you to do is your Essay 4 second draft. If you have extra time, I suggest that you look over essays that you might have not revised yet and, at least, come up with questions or concerns that I can answer.

But even if there's no extra written homework, I still want you to read. Let me give you two opposing articles to read for next week:
-- Please read this article, "Indiana’s religious freedom law can have real discriminatory effects," by the Washington Post editorial board:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/indianas-religious-freedom-law-can-have-real-discriminatory-effects/2015/03/30/f7470520-d71f-11e4-b3f2-607bd612aeac_story.html.
-- Please also read this article, "Religious-liberty protections promote tolerance," by Edwin Meese III and Ryan T. Anderson:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/religious-liberty-protections-promote-tolerance/2015/04/01/4fb66cca-d88b-11e4-ba28-f2a685dc7f89_story.html?hpid=z6.
-- And here's one more, in case you might find it interesting, "Schwarzenegger: Indiana's religious freedom law is bad for Republicans," by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/04/03/schwarzenegger-indianas-religious-freedom-law-is-bad-for-america-and-bad-for-republicans/?hpid=z11.
Don't take my choice of articles the wrong way; I simply want you to take a look at the way two opposing positions on this topic are often expressed.

And that's it. Let me know if you have questions or concerns.
I'll see you again soon.
