Discrimination, oppression, and the War on Christianity

[Mister Agenda]

Um, generically speaking, coaches aren't released because they pray, they get released for getting other people to pray in their capacity as a representative for the institution they're coaching for. Protecting people from having an authority figure who may have influence over things like who starts and who gets benched is preventing the coach from oppressing them; not oppressing the coach. If I hire a Muslim or a Hindu to coach the problem with them organizing prayers seems to be readily apparent to all concerned, but if the coach is a Christian, somehow it's a mystery. If you're not capable of performing the tasks of your job as outlined by your employer, you're in the wrong job; like a Muslim bartender who refuses to mix drinks because he views it as against his religion. Well, he shouldn't be a bartender, should he?

If I call HR on someone who is hanging pictures of dead fetuses on their desks, their religion may be why they're doing it, but their religion isn't why I'm calling HR. It's due to their actions, not their religion. If I find out in an interview that someone is a Christian and I don't hire them because of that fact, that's hiring discrimination. If I don't hire them because they tried to convert me during the interview, that's using good judgment to discern that this person won't know how to behave properly on the job if they can't even stick to showing me they would be a good candidate during the interview.
