Notre Dame law professor Rick Garnett thinks that Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC is the most important religious-freedom case before the Supreme Court in 20 years.

Given the subject matter of their teaching, a lower court has ruled that such teachers are not “ministerial employees.”
