ADF Attorney Kevin Theriot on the Hosanna-Tabor SCOTUS Ruling
Paul speaks with Alliance Defense Fund Attorney Kevin Theriot about what the Beckett Fund calls the Supreme Court’s “most important religious liberty case in twenty years.” A Lutheran church and it’s school in Redford, Michigan had been sued by the EEOC for employment discrimination when it fired one of its teachers:
From the Beckett Fund Press Release on January 12, 2012:
Today the Supreme Court decided its most important religious liberty case in twenty years, Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The government lost 9-nothing as the Court unanimously rejected its narrow view of religious liberty as “extreme,” “untenable” and “remarkable.”
The unanimous decision adopted the Becket Fund’s arguments, saying that religious groups should be free from government interference when they choose their leaders. The church, Hosanna-Tabor, was represented by The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and Professor Douglas Laycock, University of Virginia Law School. For years, churches have relied on a “ministerial exception” which protects them from employment discrimination lawsuits by their ministers.
“The message of today’s opinion is clear: The government can’t tell a church who should be teaching its religious message,” said Luke Goodrich, Deputy National Litigation Director at The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. “This is a huge victory for religious freedom and a rebuke to the government, which was trying to regulate how churches select their ministers.”
