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.

This is so encouraging, fren. Even if you don't get your job back, praying you'll get restitution of some kind and closure to the ordeal!
I was also let go from my job, even after filing a religious exemption, which my employer "denied". I hired a lawfirm to represent me, but I haven't heard back anything on my case. So I'm going to start praying for that to come through, because your story gives me hope.
