Ohio Attorney General Backs Lawsuit to Keep Religious Schools Open Amid Pandemic
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Monday filed an amicus brief in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of religious schools seeking to overturn a county health department’s shutdown order, calling the order a violation of the First Amendment.
“This order violates the Free Exercise Clause,” Yost wrote in the brief. “That clause prohibits the government from discriminating against religion.”
The lawsuit, filed earlier this month by three Christian schools, is challenging the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department’s order that halts grades 7–12 for in-person instruction and sports from Dec. 4 to Jan. 11. The order applies to all public, private, charter, and parochial institutions in the county.
