More than 20 former Hacienda La Puente Unified School District employees are suing the district, all of whom objected to the district's employee coronavirus vaccination mandate and allege they were wrongfully denied exemptions on religious grounds.
The school board listed 18"misleading and/or exaggerated factors to support the resolution mandating that its employees be vaccinated to safely work within the district,'' signaling the board's"contempt for employees who would seek religious exemptions to the mandate,'' the suit states.
The plaintiffs submitted requests for religious accommodation, maintaining that accepting or receiving any of the three currently available COVID-19 vaccines would be a violation of their sincerely held religious beliefs, in part because all of the vaccines are developed and produced from aborted fetal cell lines, the suit states.
Each plaintiff received a denial letter from the HLPUSD that state in part,"The purpose of this correspondence is to inform you that the district has considered your request and supporting materials and hereby denies your request for exemption,'' the suit states. "Further evidence of HLPUSD's discrimination with these denials is present in HLPUSD's turning a blind eye to the current state of the science, which clearly indicates that vaccinated individuals spread COVID-19 just as unvaccinated individuals,'' the suit states.
