Religious teachers not protected in WI nondiscrimination policies

Exactly why the hate crimes law, West Bend School District's harassment policy, and workplace nondiscrimination policies are biased and are being used covertly to shut down Christians and other people of faith. VERY DANGEROUS INDEED.

WB News today:
MADISON (AP) — Many religious school teachers are not protected by Wisconsin laws aimed at stopping discrimination in the workplace, the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

Justice Michael Gableman said all employees whose positions are closely linked to the religious mission of their employers cannot make claims like age, gender and racial discrimination under the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act. In the past, courts had generally only exempted religious leaders like ordained clergy and ministers from such laws.


Seems there's a teacher that had been let go from her job who is claiming age discrimination with her employer as the reason for her termination. If she could prove that her job was more secular in nature, she would be able to move forward with her complaint. Because she held a "religious" position, however, no can do.
