Ken Ham files lawsuit against Kentucky

Can't say for sure about Kentucky, but around here, strip club performers aren't employees, and aren't subject to the same anti-discrimination laws as employees.

Second, what Ham is doing isn't a lawful form of employment discrimination for a for-profit company.

First, where you live one could probably employ a person to be a strip club performer but that is not usually done because it make business sense not too(why pay the taxes and L&I if you don't have too). My point is that sometimes it is legal to discriminate in hiring practices.....including those of for-profit ventures.

Regarding your second point, this is an issue the court is going to have to decide. My understanding is that some restructuring was done and the actual discriminatory employment postings were for AnswersInGenesis(which is a non profit ministry) jobs....not Ark Encounter jobs.

Last, I think an argument could be made that believers are simply better equipped to do the job that Ark Encounters wants them to do. Hell I don't believe in the flood, but if I were building this thing strictly as a business venture, I would want the front line employees to truly believe the flood story. A believer is going to be more passionate in selling the story than a non believer. Ham has a legitimate business reason to prefer believers over non believers.
