Religion Law Quiz #91 asked how you would explain “strict scrutiny” to a kindergartner. In keeping with that theme (i.e., you only truly understand a concept when you can intelligently teach it to someone much younger and less knowledgeable than yourself), how would you, in just one sentence, describe what Title VII requires of employers for employees who seek a religious accommodation?
(Scroll down for the answer)
Answer: Here’s how the Supreme Court did it in late June of this year. “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to accommodate the religious practice of their employees unless doing so would impose an ‘undue hardship on the conduct of the employer's business.’ 78 Stat. 253, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e(j).” Groff v. DeJoy, 143 S. Ct. 2279, 2286 (2023).

Welcome to yet another insightful episode of the Religion Law Podcast hosted by Michael Fielding. In this episode, we continue our journey through the Supreme Court's case, Groff v. DeJoy while revisiting and exploring the theme of religion law quiz #91 in a new light.
Shining a spotlight on the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this podcast episode challenges listeners to comprehend its essence and communicate it in a simple sentence. The main focus is on what Title VII demands employers to do for employees seeking religious accommodations.
Through an engaging narrative, the episode introduces the Supreme Court's interpretation of Title VII: employers are required to make allowances for an employee's religious practice unless it significantly disrupts the operation of the employer's business.
In a practical demonstration of Title VII, the episode shares a real-life example of how a local amusement park accommodated a teenager's request not to work on Sundays owing to her religious practices. Highlighting the win-win scenario that Title VII can create, it emphasizes the ability to practice one's religion while keeping their job, given the employer can afford the accommodation without considerable burden.
Designed as the second in a series of seven quizzes shedding light on the Supreme Court's Groffy DeJoy decision, the podcast educates, challenges, and prepares listeners for the subsequent episode. Tune in to experience a culturally and legally enriching discussion on the topic of religious accommodation in the workplace!
