Court of Appeals limits the "ministerial exception" in religious-school case

"Law.com" reports:

Religious schools don't have a free pass to ignore a key federal employment law based on a "ministerial exception." At least not in the 6th Circuit.

So ruled the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday in a case of first impression for that court.

Right. That's what the ministerial-exception is about -- that's what church-state separation and religious liberty are about:  a "free pass" to "ignore a key federal employment law."  A telling way of presenting the issue, no?  Here is the decision.
