Limited Discovery Ordered On Religious Affiliation of School
Saying that "a court walks on dangerous ground when it allows inquiry into the content of religious belief", in Doe v. Abington Friends School, (ED PA, May 15, 2007), a Pennsylvania federal district court allowed limited discovery by plaintiffs seeking to force Abington Friends School to accommodate their son's disabilities. In the case, on remand from the 3rd Circuit, the school claims that it is exempt from the Americans With Disabilities Act as a religious organization, or entity controlled by a religious organization.
