This is the right decision. You fill a government job, you do the stuff that you're required to do. I am against these things being forced on private entities but this isn't a private entity. Doing your public job is not a violation of your religion.
On Nov. 3, the Austin-based 3rd Court of Appeals sided with the trial court in dismissing all of Dianne Hensley’s claims.
