A blind woman was kicked out of a Texas church for bringing a service dog with her

In a recent incident in Texas, a Christian church's decision to deny entry to a blind woman accompanied by her service dog has sparked controversy and raised questions about religious exemptions from disability rights laws. The incident, reported by Hemant Mehta on June 10th, 2024, details how the church justified its action citing concerns over the service dog's reaction to live band music and flashing lights during services. This justification stands in contrast to federal laws under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which mandate accommodation for service animals in public spaces.
The discussion during the broadcast highlights broader issues of religious privilege and the implications of exemptions churches have from certain laws that govern other public and private entities. The conversation among hosts underscores skepticism towards the church's decision, questioning whether it reflects genuine safety concerns or a broader bias against accommodating individuals with disabilities. The incident underscores a recurring theme where religious institutions, while enjoying nonprofit status and other benefits, may not always uphold inclusivity standards expected in other sectors.
The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.25.3 featuring Scott Dickie, Aaron Jensen, Jason Friedman and Helen Greene
