Legal Question in Discrimination Law in California
Religious Discrimination, title VII
My daughter joined a junior cheerleeding program in our area. By joining this program she is required to go to cheer camps on sundays. Because they are held on sundays, we have informed the head of the organization that our child will miss on of the camps because she is enrolled in a religious class on sundays. They advised that they would not grant our request to miss the camp unless we provided documentation from the church and if we did not provide we could face consequences. Can you advise me and if they have the right to request these documents from us.

Re: Religious Discrimination, title VII
Let's see. You demand special accommodation and treatment by an organization you voluntarily joined, knowing their rules conflicted with your religious practices, and you are offended that they want some evidence to support your request?? I'm surprised they are willing to let her in the program. I'm surprised you want her in the program, knowing she'll miss all the practices and not get the benefit of the program or the training. If you want her there, I suggest you follow their rules and requests.
