Case: Discrimination/Religious Accommodation (W.D. Wash.)

A Washington federal district court granted Ferndale School District’s motion to dismiss claims brought by a school bus driver under the Fourth Amendment, First Amendment Free Exercise Clause, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and state informed consent laws, finding that the District’s Covid-19 policy requiring unvaccinated employees with religious exemptions to undergo testing and wear masks was constitutional, did not violate religious freedom protections, and that the plaintiff failed to comply with state pre-suit notification requirements for his state law claims.
