This Essay briefly discusses teachers’ role during the pandemic and then looks at the Court’s decision in Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru and how it curtails these teachers’ legal protection against workplace discrimination. This Essay offers a description of the ministerial exception as it relates to teachers and proposes two solutions for remedying the current challenges with the ministerial exception test. Ultimately, this Essay argues the exception should apply only to the religious institutions’ decision-makers, i.e., those who decide how to apply religious doctrine, which religious ceremonies should occur, which music should accompany ceremonies to fulfill religious mission, and, in religious schools, which curriculum should be taught to fulfill the schools’ religious mission. The question becomes with whom does “the buck stop” when it comes to religious missions of the organization and matters of religious ceremony and faith. The exception should apply to only those employees who are religious decision-makers.
