- Appeals Court Says Religious Schools Can’t be Exempt From Maine’s Nondiscrimination Laws
A federal appeals court ruled that religious schools in Maine cannot be exempt from the state’s nondiscrimination laws, which prohibit discrimination based on faith, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The decision rejected appeals by Bangor Christian Schools and St. Dominic Academy, which argued the law violated their First Amendment rights. The court remanded part of the case regarding religious expression back to a lower court.
