Court: School's refusal for COVID-shot exemptions is 'religious animus'

'These heroes were callously tossed aside'..

Multiple times already Colorado, led by homosexual Democrat Gov. Jared Polis, has been cited for its "hostility" to Christianity. It happened in the state's attack on the faith of specialty baker Jack Phillips. Then the same issue arose in a fight involving state censorship of a web designer...

Both times the state got slapped hard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Now it's another court, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and a division of the state, the University of Colorado,

That court now has ruled that CU's Anshutz School of Medicine's policies that refused religious exemptions to its COVID-19 shot mandate were "motivated by religious animus."

Those shots are now known to have caused side effects up to and including death.

...

But CU's practices put the state institution in violation of the First Amendment.

Peter Breen, chief of litigation for the Thomas More Society, said, "The University of Colorado ran roughshod over staff and students of faith during COVID, and the Court of Appeals has now declared plainly what we’ve fought to establish for almost three years: the University acted with ‘religious animus’ and flagrantly violated the fundamental religious liberties of these brave healthcare providers and students. These medical providers were hailed as heroes, as they served bravely on the front lines through the worst of the pandemic, but when their religious principles conflicted with the beliefs of University of Colorado bureaucrats, these heroes were callously tossed aside."

A report from the legal team explained in addition to finding religious animus, the 10th Circuit said the mandates granted “exemptions for some religions, but not others, because of differences in their religious doctrines" and granted "secular exemptions on more favorable terms than religious exemptions,"” all of which was illegal.

We can run but not hide. Small towns are still generally good.

The Camp of the Saints.. comes from a passage in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 20:7–9) depicting the apocalypse. Satan (who never had a son) influences most of the nations of the Earth to gather for one final battle against “the camp of the saints,” before being defeated for eternity..

I know somebody who got fired for not getting the shot. Do you know of any lawsuits going on that they could join?
I’d appreciate some information if you have it. Thank you so much.
