#277 Faith at Work Works its Way to the Supreme Court


Listen Later

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments today in Groff v. Dejoy, a case involving a postal employee that quit his job due to a requirement that he work on Sunday (and miss church). This case challenges a long-standing precedent that weakened religious accommodation law and could have a long-term impact for believers across the country. Also, in Kluge v. Brownsburg School Corp., the 7th Circuit recently upheld a public school’s decision to require a teacher to either (1) use transgender students’ preferred names and pronouns in a manner contrary to his conscience or (2) resign or be fired. Here are the key facts and legal standards in these cases that you should know about.

Key takeaways:

  • The reasonable accommodation standards under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
  • The case Trans World Airlines v. Hardison and the current standard that an “undue hardship” exists whenever an employer must “bear more than a de minimis cost.”
  • How Title VII differs from the Americans with Disabilities Act–and why that is important.
  • The troubling facts and ruling in the Kluge case and why Christians should take note.
  • Some reflections on the Biblical importance of living out our faith at work and what these cases say about our cultural values.
  • The post #277 Faith at Work Works its Way to the Supreme Court first appeared on The Good Citizen Project.
