Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School
v.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

  • Status Completed
  • Filed 8/3/2011
  • Case number 10-553
Read Brief

We argued to the Supreme Court the 1st Amendment does not give religious organizations the right to ignore employment discrimination laws.

We are all equally required to comply with the law, secular and religious alike, and this includes federal statutes banning employment discrimination. These laws embody and protect a critical and hard-won democratic value: equality for all Americans.
