The Headmistress by Milena McKay

Afterword Part I

In a historic decision, on June 15, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects gay, lesbian, and transgender employees from discrimination based on sex.

The Court noted in the majority opinion, that some employers might have valid religious objections to hiring gay or trans workers, noting how the 1964 civil rights law “will intersect with religious liberty are nothing new,” pointing to the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act as a "super statute" that may offer a potential lifeline to employers who object, on religious grounds, to hiring gay and trans individuals.

In “The Headmistress”, Three Dragons Academy may have started as a religious institution, but in present day is a secular school with conflicting liberal and conservative tendencies among the faculty and the Board.
