RFRA, the EEOC, and Employment Division v. Smith

Earlier this month, a federal district court in North Carolina rejected Charlotte Catholic High School's religious defenses against a Title VII claim of sex discrimination allegedly based on an employee's sexual orientation. The case, Billard v. Charlotte Catholic High School, was brought by Lonnie Billard, a male substitute drama teacher, who was fired "for his support of gay marriage" (contrary to Catholic doctrine) after he posted on Facebook about his upcoming civil marriage to another man.
