Tuesday’s edition of The Indianapolis Star has an unusual front page editorial on Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Under a massive headline, “Fix This Now,” the editorial says that the law “already has done enormous harm to our state and potentially our economic future,” and urges “bold action” to fix the problem. Karen Ferguson, The Star‘s president and publisher, underscored the urgency:
The governors of Washington and Connecticut have already banned state-sponsored travel to Indiana, several companies have condemned the law, and the NCAA is under pressure to criticize the law or even move the college basketball finals from Indianapolis to another city. On Monday, the Republican leaders of the General Assembly said they would try to “clarify” the law so it won’t be used to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
