Law professor interviewed on 'Culture Shocks' radio program


Laurence Winer

Professor Laurence Winer was interviewed, along with Nina J. Crimm, Professor of Law at Washington University, on “Culture Shocks”, a radio program that investigates issues and trends in today’s culture.

The interview offered a look into the controversial practice of houses of worship participating in political speech, as well as analyzed problems stemming from federal tax subsidies benefitting nonprofit houses of worship.

Rev. Barry Lynn, host of “Culture Shocks” and a frequent guest on shows such as Fox’s “O’Reilly Factor” and CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360”, interviewed Winer in November 2010, after the release of Winer and Crimm’s book, Politics, Taxes, and the Pulpit: Provocative First Amendment Conflicts (Oxford University Press).
