Religious liberty? More like a victory for bigotry
I WAS appalled to read of Lillian Ladele’s victory at her employment tribunal. It is a shocking decision in so many ways. Should employers really be expected to accommodate the prejudices of their staff just because they claim they are abiding by their religious beliefs?
If Ms Ladele’s beliefs had taught her to view interracial marriages as “sinful” I somehow doubt the tribunal would have decided in her favour. Bigotry cannot be excused because of “genuinely held religious beliefs”. We should not give religion a privileged position above normal rules and decency. > more |
