Amazing! Your article reports that the Muslim employees who were fired by Cargill because of their religion’s prayer requirements can receive unemployment benefits costing the state’s unemployment fund nearly $1 million. The ruling was made “because a company cannot force workers to choose between their religion and their jobs.”
Yet our courts have forced a Lakewood baker to choose between his Christian religion and losing his business because he refused to bake a same-sex wedding cake.
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy?
