The Supreme Court released two incredible opinions on Wednesday in favor of religious liberty, one of which offers tremendous protections for parochial schools.
In Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, the court ruled 7-2 in favor of two California Catholic schools, saying the government can’t intervene when a religious school makes administrative hiring or firing decisions. Although the case didn’t get much media fanfare, the ruling ensures that religious schools can make their own decisions and are protected under the ministerial exception. The case, litigated by religious liberty law firm Becket, is tremendous for students, parents, and the administrations of faith-based schools who can better prioritize religious instruction without the threat of government intrusion.
