EEOC the story is not quite so simple. The educator had already been employed by the school and developed narcolepsy which was the apparent reason for termination.<br /><br />A good court ruling would extend the protection of the statute (Americans with Disabilities Act) to those the institutions consider qualified to be employed under their own religious standards without forcing them to relax those standards. In this case it does not appear that the teacher was disqualified by anything relating to the requirements of the post but was explicitly discriminated against for developing a disability.<br /><br />A bad court ruling of course would demand those standards be relaxed to accommodate changes in circumstances including changing their mind and teaching against the standards of their employer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
