Quick and easy, they’ll settle his remaining salary, won’t go to court and both parties will move on. He didn’t follow the mandate but he had the human right to choose not to get it.
Not so sure that will happen. He's claiming religious beliefs. The only problem with that is he's Catholic and the Pope said you should get the vaccine.

The Pope isn't over every religion. Actually, he isn't over any religion. So what he says really doesn't mean anything.

He will likely get something out of it to keep it easy. If he doesn’t then he doesn’t, I’m not a believer in mandates, I’m a believer in making choices for what you believe in and standing up for them, but if he gets nothing out of it he did know the consequences, so in this case I’m not even gonna pick a side.

Doesn't matter. The Pope isn't the end all be all of the Catholic religion.
So Catholics don't listen to the Pope?

"Rolovich had filed the exemption request based on his religious beliefs. Pope Francis and other Catholic leaders have encouraged Catholics and others to be vaccinated against COVID-19, with Pope Francis calling it an "act of love.""

No, the don't. Some people.in the Catholic church live and die with what the Pope says, but a LOT do not. Even the religion itself doesn't teach the Pope is the end all be all.

Well let’s see, it’s killing people, ruining many people’s lives, and dividing this country in a way that can only have one conclusion. Pro vax mandate people think anti vax mandate people are evil and need to be controlled, while anti vax mandate people view pro mandate as authoritarian dictators who represent the end of freedom in this country.

There is no middle ground and things are about to explode once they mandate children. Good conservative hard working Americans can stomach a lot of stupidity, but threatening their children will draw anger the left isn’t used to seeing.

Making people comply with something they don’t at all believe in under threat of ruining their lives won’t end well. This is pre 1940s Germany.

Why does everyone think that anti vaccine mandates are drawn down the middle of left and right? I know many people on both sides who dont like the mandate.

He had every right not to get the vaccine.

The school had every right to fire him.
It isn't even that. With the State of Washington's Vaccine Mandate (All State employees are REQUIRED to be vaccinated.), the school had no choice but to fire him.

The coach is entitled to his beliefs. But, he'd better be believing strong. Because those beliefs are going to cost him.

You demonstrate the strengths of your belief by your willingness to sacrifice. The coach was willing to sacrifice his job.

There are always outliers. Pro vs anti mandate is definitely along party lines by a very wide majority.

It’s not necessarily a political thing either. What makes one left or right are typically a difference in personality traits. Those leaning to the left are FAR more likely to be pro mandate, and it’s not close at all.

Jesus Christ 😂. That has nothing to do with the situation at all. It’s not like the guy had Covid going around coughing and sneezing on people, he just didn’t want a damn vaccine. Not to mention you can still get, spread, and die from Covid if you are vaccinated.
You are really going somewhere you don't know much about. The 'get, spread, and death' percentages are so much lower with vaccine, that when you look up the actual numbers, you might be embarrassed.

It’s easy to see that’s what’s going on because the people the mandates are coming from are using coercion and talking down to the people who don’t want to do it. I know people on both sides who are against it to.

I definitely know about it. But it has and does happen. The man didn’t deliberately try to spread anything or get anyone sick. That’s a whole different scenario, hypotheticals, unicorns and fairies is much more embarrassing than telling the truth. He is as entitled to his beliefs as you are, I can’t understand why people can’t make their own decision and just move on. Protect yourself, no one is deliberately going around trying to make people die.

And many religious leaders have came out and said nothing in their respective faiths are against vaccination.
And no individual is bound by what a "religious leader" says in terms of their own beliefs. I can't believe how this Corona thing has caused the Left to completely lose sight of the Constitution of the United States of America.

No where near not even remotely close to those who are unvaccinated. The data backs it up. Can you still get it and transmit it and die from of course you can. Like a .1% chance versus what percentage if you aren’t vaccinated. Look people don’t want it fine but quit hiding behind lies and false information and just admit they are selfish and unwilling to sacrifice for the greater good of all people. I could accept and respect that more than pushing lies and false information.
