PJI Settles COVID Vaccine Mandate Case For 15 Public School Employees
When 15 dedicated public school employees in Oregon stood firm in their Christian faith and declined the COVID-19 vaccine, their school district responded by placing them on indefinite unpaid leave—stripping them of income, benefits, and dignity. Among them were expectant parents, cafeteria workers, and veteran teachers, all forced to choose between their convictions and their livelihoods. But Pacific Justice Institute stepped in. After a long legal battle, we’ve successfully negotiated a settlement—restoring justice and sending a clear message: religious freedom cannot be sidelined. This victory is a powerful reminder that when faith is under fire, PJI stands ready to defend.
