I believe that as a citizen of America, with freedom of religion, one must not be forced to do things that are against their religion while at work. I believe that when choosing a job, the boss, and the one applying, should make it clear that they have certain religious beliefs that may withstand them from certain obligations. If the boss is not okay with this, the worker should search for a new place to work. I do not believe, as a citizen of the United States, with freedom of religion, that one should be forced to go against their religion because of a job. When the Muslim woman refuses to serve alcohol on the plane to a flyer, I believe that is not something to be fired, or yelled at for. The situation could have run much more smoothly by having the flight attendant ask another one to serve the drink. There is also the fact that as a flight attendant, you are aware that part of your job includes serving alcohol to those who want it. If the woman's religious beliefs would hold her from being able to do part of her job, she should've spoken to the boss about it and made arrangements to run more smoothly. I don't think that this woman should be thrown into prison for following her beliefs, especially when she lives in the "religiously free" country.

ReplyDeleteA person's religion legally excuses them from filling a prescription for anything against their religion like abortion medication. A pharmacist does have the right to turn away a customer and places like Rite-Aid say they will stand by any of their pharmacists who do. However they are supposed to recommend another pharmacist besides just telling the person to go somewhere else. However public offenders cannot exercise this as they waive their rights to serve the people. The woman who worked as a person who writes marriage license refused to write one to a gay couple and is serving jail time for the act.
