7th Circuit: #Chicago's Reporting Requirement for #Employees During #CovidPandemic Were #Constitutional

In Kondilis v. City of Chicago, (7th Cir., Dec. 2, 2025), the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected claims by City of Chicago employees who had been granted #religiousexemptions from the #Covidvaccinemandate that, nevertheless, the reporting requirements imposed on them violated their #freeexercise and #equalprotection rights.

This is why we must do more to prevent #ReligiousChildAbuse and end #ReligiousExemptions for #ChildAbuse #ChildNeglect in all 50 states. We must do more to prevent these people from even having kids in my opinion or must take their children away sooner when we see evidence of religious abuse.

www.opb.org/article/2025... This is why we must have all 50 states end #ReligiousExemptions for #ChildAbuse #ChildNeglect. There should be #NoExcuseForChildAbuse! #Christian #Fascist #parents are killing babies with their negligence while saying they are #ProLife. Enough is enough! #ORleg #ORpol

All states must start repealing protections for parents who rely on #FaithHealing or use #ReligiousExemptions to get away with #ChildAbuse & #ChildNeglect. We did in #Oregon. You can too. #ORleg #ORpol #NoExcuseForChildAbuse

We have " #oversight ". What we don't have are #prosecutors with the guts to act on what we already know. We have laws that have #loopholes and that need stiffer penalties and to have those loopholes closed. #ReligiousExemptions removed etc. Surveys don't save #kids. www.sltrib.com/news/health/...

Army is to raid what raid is to #religiousexemptions.

#MittRomney knows the #ParisHIlton family. Paris is a plant and an obvious one. They planted her in our movement and used her to destroy legislation we had in the works and any plan or effort to reform the industry especially any plan to get rid of #ReligiousExemptions.

Everything #ParisHilton did makes my job, and the job of other #survivors, of #religious #TroubledTeenIndustry programs harder not easier. She has repeatedly refused to address #ReligiousExemptions to #ChildAbuse because she is in bed with #ChildAbusers like #MittRomney.

Here are the stated goals of the legislation, which, keep in mind, replaced legislation we were working on that would have given children basic rights and would have included religious #TroubledTeenIndustry programs making #ReligiousExemptions a thing of the past. This legislation does not.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report critiquing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for its unclear and burdensome process for granting religious exemptions for psilocybin and other controlled substances.

The #limits of the #courts in the #clash between #gayrights and #religiousbelief.

— The #Constitution doesn't allow for #religiousexemptions because doing so would necessarily require #depriving #LGBTQ #people their #constitutionalright to the #EqualProtectionoftheLaw.

The #issue of whether #ReligiousExemptions from #antidiscrimination #laws based on the #1stAmendment are #unconstitutional goes beyond mere #legalanalysis; it must be acknowledged as a #fundamentalmatter resonating with the #foundational #values and #principles that #define the #American #legalsystem. (8/8)

Consequently, #ReligiousExemptions from #antidiscrimination #laws—whether favoring one #religious #belief over another or even over a simple #desire not to adhere to any #religious #tenet—must be recognized as a #violation of the #14thAmendment's pledge to #equality.

The #ReligiousFreedomRestoratioAct (#RFRA) has further complicated this #legal #relationship. (4/8)

Acting In unison, these #amendments decisively affirm that granting #religiousexemptions from #antidiscriminationlaws based on the #1stAmendment must be deemed #unconstitutional.

Central to the #14thAmendment is the principle that no #state shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the #equalprotection of the #laws." This serves as a resolute reinforcement of the 1st Amendment's protections, assuring equal application without #discrimination. (3/8)
