Fox 13 contacted me today after the Utah state audit was released regarding my case.
They must have uncovered all the emails and finally pieced together what happened. I’m thankful the state did this. It’s a big deal for religious freedom.
The audit says in part, “when questioned when certain SLCPD management expressed the opinion that a request for excusal from assignment based on a religious need for accommodation was no different from any other request for excusal.”
“The audit sided with (Moutsos) and says that some SLCPD management do not appear to understand the requirements of title VII of the Civil Rights Act.”
The good news is that it will protect people. Remember to stand up for what you believe, no matter what. Even if you lose your job in a world where people and organizations can be intolerant of who you are. It really will all work out in the end. It always does.
