6:32Now PlayingIn this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill dives into the Supreme Court's decision to let Donald Trump reinstate a ban on transgender people serving in the U.S. military. The ruling split along party lines, with all liberal justices dissenting — but the conservative majority pushed it through.
After the decision dropped, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted “No more trans at DOD” and followed up with a viral video saying, “No more pronouns, no more climate change obsession, no more dudes in dresses.” His comments ignited outrage across the country, highlighting a new level of state-sanctioned transphobia dressed up as patriotism.
More than 4,000 trans people currently serve in the military — and thousands more go uncounted. This move doesn’t just strip rights; it escalates a broader cultural war that targets marginalized communities under the banner of so-called strength.
Marc unpacks the hypocrisy of demanding loyalty from people the state refuses to protect, questions the moral logic of military inclusion, and calls out the dangerous mix of empire, hate, and power.
