>Eleven students at Loyola University in Chicago won a victory over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate that is sweeping the country in education, business, and government.
>Under the rules implemented by the university, students who had not submitted their vaccine card or been granted an exception by Friday, Aug. 6, would not be allowed to enroll in classes or access the campus. Faculty and staff who are not vaccinated by Sept. 21, or submit an exemption, could face disciplinary action, including termination, the university states.
>“Loyola denied each of these students’ religious exemption requests with curt and ambiguous denials even though their statements were more than sufficient under applicable law and under Loyola’s nondiscrimination policy,” the release said.
>Illinois has a Health Care Right of Conscience Act that provides strong protection to all residents against discrimination based on healthcare choices.
>The university backtracked on its decision after receiving a letter from attorneys on Wednesday threatening a lawsuit. After the press release was distributed, 10 more students contacted Liberty because they received exemption denials. The cases are under review.
Expect to see more of this type of thing as more and more companies and institutions find out that following a fad doesn't make something legal. They're expecting you to be too timid to stand your ground but as is seen above, the simple threat of a lawsuit caused Loyola University to fold. Everyone is expecting you to meekly comply. These people and the entities they run are in their hearts absolute cowards.
