Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Illinois
Religious Discrimination
I am a resident of Illinois. My townhome Association
scheduled a meeting on a Jewish holiday while I was
in Seattle. I returned home on a Friday afternoon
and received notice of the meeting for Monday evening.
I notified the Association of the conflict and requested they reschedule the meeting.
The response by the Association secretary was that since I was "seen at home" I was obligated to attend
and I was subsequently fined.
Did their action constitute a violation of my right
to observe my religious holiday?
