(1) Consider the Supreme Court’s decision in MASTERPIECE CAKESHOP v. COLORADO CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION as well as the supplementary materials about the case that you have received. Drawing on specific insights and critiques provided by the various theorists we have studied this quarter, provide a critical analysis of the circumstances of the case and the oral arguments. For example, you may want to address some of the following questions: What criticisms might be made of how the conflict at the heart of this case is framed by the parties and by the law and legal experts? What assumptions about religion and the religious are found in the arguments made by both the advocates and judges? Isthere any sense in which an appeal to the category of “religion” distracts from other important political dimensions of this case? What are alternative dispositions or ethical outlooks that the participants in this case might have taken?(2) Do you agree with van Leeuwen’s claim that there is some merit in recognizing the possibility of a more minimalist inter-cultural citizenship, in which an element of indifference and a posture of ignoring are seen as acceptable modes of citizen cohabitation? What are the drawbacks and benefits in citizens approaching each other such they do not focus on their “cultural, ethnic, and religious differences”? Make sure to ground your analysis of van Leeuwen’s arguments in the text of his article, “Dealing with Urban Diversity: Promises and Challenges of City Life for Intercultural Citizenship.” A good answer will also draw upon the work of other theorists we have studied this quarter.Use only the files and sources provided.
