Questions presented

  1. Whether the Appellate Court erred in determining that petitioner was lawfully terminated for noncompliance of respondent’s “2020” flu vaccine policy.

  2. Whether the Appellate Court erred in determining that Petitioner did not profess a sincerely held religious belief and whether the Appellate Court erred in determining that the petitioner was not similarly situated in all material respects to her comparator.

  3. Whether the Appellate Court erred in determining that the “hanging of a blackface doll with a noose around its neck” was not shockingly pervasive enough to alter the terms of the petitioners employment contract.

  4. Whether the Appellate Court erred in determining that respondents appeal of petitioners unemployment benefits were not an act of retaliation.
