A: "The Court's rulings on ‘Affirmative Action' and ‘Freedom of Religion' were right. I support both."
Explanation from Ogletree.com: On June 29, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court revived an employee's religious discrimination lawsuit, unanimously holding that to deny a sincere religious accommodation request under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, employers must show that the burden of granting it "would result in substantial increased costs in relation to the conduct of its particular business." In the unanimous ruling in Groff v. DeJoy, the Supreme Court upended a longstanding standard that had allowed employers to deny a religious accommodation under Title VII as an undue hardship, by claiming it would impose a more than "de minimis" cost. The ruling sides with a former postal employee who had brought Title VII claims against the Postal Service over its refusal not to schedule him to work on Sundays, his Sabbath day.
