Former School Employee Who Suffered Religious Pressure Can Proceed On Discrimination and Retaliation Claims

In Scott v. Montgomery County School Board, (WD VA, Aug 5, 2013), a Virginia federal district court allowed a former school library media aide to move forward with her religious discrimination and retaliation claims growing out of alleged Christian religious pressure from her immediate supervisor. The court however dismissed plaintiff's hostile work environment claim, as well as her claim for punitive damages.
