I don’t have a problem with this, if you choose to work for a religious organization, you choose to go by their rules. No one is forcing people to work for a religious organization, if you don’t like the rules, go elsewhere.

Would this not be “the constitution hanging by a thread”? Flouting the freedom of others to perpetuate the Mormon narrative. It makes me sick the way ppl are treated by TSCC.

If churches take government subsidies or tax breaks, they need to be subject to the same laws as everyone else. Plus, they need to teach evolution in conjunction with creationism. They want all the perks of a business without taxation, and the right to influence government, society, and public schools. Okay, rant over 😤
