678 followers · 227 posts · Server mastodon.lawprofs.orgSorry -- I forgot to explain that the Supreme Court described the new standard for evaluating a Title VII religious accommodation claim and then sent the case back down to the lower courts.
So we don't yet know if the Christian postal work who wanted his Sabbath Sundays off will ultimately win or not.
But the new standard certainly helps.

677 followers · 226 posts · Server mastodon.lawprofs.orgI must confess to some concern about what Groff's new standard means for the inevitable case where a religious employee insists on a Title VII right to misgender coworkers as a religious accommodation.
Will harm to the misgendered employees be considered to "affect the conduct of the business"?

It is not that their parents worked harder, but that the law favored their home ownership and states decided to fund schools based on that

653 followers · 201 posts · Server mastodon.lawprofs.orgIn 303 Creative, a web designer argues a state public accommodations law that bars discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation violates her free speech by requiring her to make wedding websites for gay couples.
Though her opposition is rooted in her religious beliefs, her claim is a free speech one: she is being compelled to speak a message contrary to her viewpoint.

How Sexist Is Hollywood? Check Out Geena Davis’s Spreadsheet https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/25/business/geena-davis-hollywood-sexism-gender.html
"In the 101 top-grossing G-rated films from 1990 to 2005, just 28% of speaking characters were female. Even in crowd scenes—even in animated crowd scenes—male characters vastly outnumber female ones. In the 56 top grossing films of 2018, women portrayed in positions of leadership were four times more likely than men to be shown naked."
