USA – NYC Teachers Score Another Win in Fight to Obtain Religious Exemptions
A Nov. 28 ruling by New York’s 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals means most New York City Department of Education employees denied a religious exemption from the city’s COVID vaccine mandate must be allowed to reapply for an exemption under a new process.
“The latest ruling extended the court’s Nov. 13 decision that the 15 plaintiffs who sued New York Mayor Bill De Blasio (Kane v. De Blasio) and the City of New York (Keil v. The City of New York) must be allowed to reapply for a religious exemption to vaccination.
Since this latest development, the DOE has sent emails to many educators denied religious exemptions informing them they, too, can reapply for a religious exemption.”
