SUPREME COURT - Ruling, Employment Discrimination in Religious Schools

"Supreme Court Upholds 'Ministerial Exception' From Anti-Bias Laws" PBS Newshour 1/11/2012

Excerpt

MARGARET WARNER (Newshour): The case involved a teacher with part-time religious duties at a Lutheran Church-run school who claimed employment discrimination after she was fired.

Today, the justices in a unanimous ruling said her church employer is protected from such lawsuits. It was the first time the high court has upheld the so-called ministerial exception to anti-discrimination laws.
