Here are two different framings of the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC case that was just heard before the Supreme Court. The first shows why so many religious groups are backing the LCMS school:

The second is slanted towards the rights of the disabled:

Then there are many confessional Lutherans who disapprove of teachers being conflated with pastors and so oppose the congregation’s claim for a “ministerial exception.”
I suspect there are also LCMS teachers and others who support the notion of the teacher’s “call” and yet sympathize with her for being discriminated against because of her disability.
How do you think the court should rule, and how do you think it will rule? What measures should the church body take to address these issues?
