Religious Discrimination - Workplace Fairness - 2 views

  •  
    Do you ever wonder when you are able to practice your religion? Have you ever been denied a job opportunity or given rude looks because you believed in something someone else did not? This website provides a lot of helpful information regarding religious discrimination and shows how our society views it currently.

    Religion in itself is a touchy subject. Religion in the workplace is even more so. great article with very detailed aspects on major points of religion in the workplace.
  •  
    This article along with anything oriented around Religious Freedoms makes me fume. Workplace discrimination is a double bladed sword in my opinion. The employee has the right to practice religion in the workplace in many cases, but the owning entity is forced to forfeit their liberty to refuse based on their own beliefs. Duality and legality in its most primitive forms.
  •  
    I believe that we as individuals should be able to be open and free about ourselves. Religion is a HUGE part of some people's lives, to the point they live and breathe nothing but their religion. Totally not the same, but it's almost like breastfeeding in the workplace. Some people (such as myself) need to take breaks to pump,I am constantly being joked about, given rude looks, and mocked for something I chose to do as a mother, much like those who are ridiculed for being religious. We should all be able to do and be as we please.

Details on State Prayer in Public School Laws - FindLaw - 2 views

  •  
    Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

    A constitutional right of all citizens is the freedom of religion, and praying in schools is a way of exercising that right. If praying is banned in public education, then the constitutional right to practice religion is being infringed upon.
  •  
    While religious freedoms are very important in our country we need to look at what the purpose of school is. In my opinion, schools are not morally obligated but factually obligated. This article states that you must look at the religious aspect to understand history which I completely agree. I do not remember my classes removing religious aspects from the curriculum. Is this prevalent nowadays?
  •  
    I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.
  •  
    America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.

    The goal of the ACLU is to guarantee that all are free to practice their faith-or no faith at all-without governmental interference. Through litigation, public education, and advocacy, the ACLU promotes religious freedom and works to ensure that government neither prefers religion over non-religion nor favors particular faiths over others.

    All people have the right to practice their faith without government intervention. The government cannot prefer any religion over others.

Why Should You Care About Separation Of Church And State? - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about why church and state should be separate entities. It talks about how it is our right to follow any religion or none at all. To create a government that focuses on one religious group would cause discrimination against other groups as well as disrespect those of whom don't follow said religion. Keeping church and state separate also promotes the free exchange of ideas without fear of being persecuted for having a different belief. It is important to defend the separation of church and state as defending the 1st amendment right, defends personal liberties and promotes basic respect.
