We’ve seen plenty of First Amendment religious freedom cases grinding through the court system involving people working in industries ranging from teaching to baked goods. But I was a bit surprised to find out about one involving the Post Office. Has the USPS been infringing on the rights of Christians who work for the postal service? That’s the claim of Gerald Groff, a former postal worker from Pennsylvania. After going to work as a postal employee, Groff informed his managers that his Christian faith did not permit him to work on Sundays. They were able to accommodate him for a time, but then informed him that he would need to work on Sunday sometimes. He quit his job over this and sued the Post Office over religious discrimination. Two lower courts dismissed the suit, but now the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the upcoming session. (Associated Press)Read More
