Case: Discrimination/Religious Accommodation (Tex. App., 3d Dist.)

A Texas Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s dismissal of religious discrimination and retaliation claims under the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act brought by a Turkish-American former district technology coordinator against Harmony Public Schools, finding that the employee raised a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Gulen movement—which he left—constitutes a bona fide religious belief that could support his discrimination claim, and that the employer hadn’t sought dismissal of his retaliation claim.
