    Friendly reminder that SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in an opinion authored by none other than Neil Gorsuch that discrimination by sexual orientation and gender identity is inherently discrimination by sex. If that was actually the reason, that school is in for a rough time.

      Religious institutions get a lot of special exceptions. Because umm Jesus or something.

      Specifically, teachers fall under a “ministerial exemption” that allows them complete control to hire or fire sfor any reason, even otherwise protected ones, if the position involves religious instruction.
