I was let go from an adjunct online teaching job at a community college in my state because I was denied the religious exemption that I applied for. The HR Dept. there is very smug. So I filed a complaint with the State Civil Liberties Dept back in Jan 2022. The school actually hired a lawyer to deal with it (probably cost them more than my semester pay). I had to file so much paperwork for months and have not heard anything back from them since Dec 2022. Well, today I received notice from them that I have been found to have "Probable Cause" and they are scheduling a "Conciliation." I have no idea what that will do for me (someone else has my job) but it feels good to at least hear that I got this far. It was so much paperwork that I wanted to give up. Looking over all that paperwork, I cannot believe I did it.

Great news fren, make that bastards pay.
And pay again.
The HR Director is so elitist that she will be stunned that she didn't win. The very mention of HR at that school makes everyone who teaches there shiver. The school has already paid a lawyer to deal with all my paperwork that was sent in over months. I bet all of this will go into HER personnel file. But I was glad to see that my religious exemption letter was accepted by the state. I just read it and I know in my heart that I was sincere.
Curious if the community college is state run? So if your exemption was accepted by the state, but not the school, should be a good case. Either way, time is on your side. Look at how much more awake the world is now to this compared to when you filed. Keep going fren!!!
