USAToday previews tomorrow's important Supreme Court arguments in Hosanna, a case weighing the hiring freedom of religious employers against anti-discrimination principles. The article notes the unity among religious leaders in supporting the school's position.
Even the various Baptist denominations are all on the same side.
They all support the right of religious groups to hire and fire teachers who could be construed as "ministers" on grounds that would be otherwise discriminatory, whether due to race, gender and disability or other reasons. The case could affect hundreds of thousands of teachers and other employees in faith-based schools and organizations.
Dozens of organizations, religious and otherwise, are choosing up sides by filing friend-of-the-court briefs in the case.
Even Baptists agree!
