Georgia Court Partially Denies Diocese's Motion in Race Discrimination Case

Georgia Court Partially Denies Diocese's Motion in Race Discrimination Case

A federal district court in Georgia has partially denied the Roman Catholic Diocese of Savannah's motion to dismiss race discrimination and retaliation claims. These claims were brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 by a Black, non-Catholic first-grade teacher whose contract was not renewed. The court found that the ministerial exception did not bar these claims at the pleading stage, as the teacher plausibly alleged she did not perform ministerial functions despite her position being formally designated as ministerial.
