A Baptist-run home for troubled youngsters terminates an employee for being a lesbian. Can it do so?
Question:
A Baptist-run home for troubled youngsters terminates an employee for being a lesbian. Can it do so? How about terminating a practicing Nazarite from Taco Bell whose religious beliefs do not allow the cutting of hair? Does it matter if the employee had worked there for seven years without cutting his hair? [EEOC v. Family Foods, Inc., d/b/a Taco Bell, Civil Action No. 5:11-cv-00394 7/28/11]. What about a self-described Evangelical Christian computer specialist working for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory who believes in intelligent design rather than evolution and argues about it with co-workers and passes out DVDs about it?
