Yes, your employer can deny you a day off. They generally schedule their employees based on the needs of their business.
This would be when you are taking an unpaid day off of work. They're mandatory days off that you do not get paid for. For instance, they cut your pay 10% overall which results in ~2 days off per month unpaid.
If you work 7 hours a day (i.e. 8 hours with an hour off for lunch), $42,000. a year equals approx. $27.00 an hour.

no you got to work hard to pay it off.
Yes they have that right, but you also have a right to turn them down if they asking you to come in to work, the Texas work law states that the employer have to call of inform you within 24 hours of your off day.
No US employer can ever compel you to work for free. ALL work, without exception, must be paid. The employer can change your schedule, but must pay for your work.
Social workers should get Labor Day off. However, if their employer dictates otherwise, they may have to work.
If by "authorized to observe" you mean to take a day off from work with pay, the answer is NO. On the other hand, if your employer's policy allows for a "personal day," then you may be able to take the day off, with pay. A personal day is an optional holiday/vacation day which can be chosen by the employee and taken with pay, if the employee can be spared from the job without detrimental impact on the employer's operation. Most employers reserve the right to deny an employee's request for a personal day, if the employee's presense is absolutely essential to the operation of the business.
It depends on the country. Usually, the employer has to pay overtime.
Absolutely. It's not your employer's responsibility to see that your kids get to school, it's yours. You have a lot of options open to you other than leaving work, and you need to work with those. For instance, you can drop your kids off at a day care on your way to work, and the day care will transport them to school (and pick them up). Your employer hired you to be at work between certain hours, and their interest is that you are at work. If you cannot fulfill your agreement with your employer to be there when you're paid to be there, you need to find another job.
No. By law no employer can force you to work at all, especially without payment.
Yes, an employer can deny time off for attending a cultural event if it conflicts with business needs or if there are already too many employees scheduled off on that day. However, employers should consider reasonable accommodation and fairness in granting time off requests.
You can certainly sue. Your action would be for wrongful termination. In order to win, you would have to establish that your reason for wanting that day off is religious and that the employer knew this and fired you for that reason. However, if you have historically been available for work on that day of the week, said that you would be available on that day when hired or if it can be proved that your reason for requesting off is non-religious, you would not be able to prevail.

That depends on your employer and company policy. If the surgery was due to a work related accident, you should get some compensation from your employer's Workers' Compensation insurance.
You get off from work in order to attend court, but your employer does not have to pay you for the lost time.
