Instead, Reinhardt held Peterson was fired for repeatedly disregarding instructions to remove his biblical postings, including one from Leviticus explicitly addressing homosexuality.

If HP has to tolerate Reinhardt's expression of religion in the work place; they must tolerate everyone's. Thus the Koran's directives to kill Jews where you can find them is also permitted. HP has no choice, they cannot favor one religion over another; thus no one gets to denounce anyone. Imagine, a work place where you can't post religious directives to kill Jews, or stone gays.

HP IS tolerating one religion over another. They are placing posters on the wall declaring the value of homosexuality. This is a religious view in opposition to Christianity.

Actually they can, but I wonder if there is a cause of action for discrimination based on one's sexual preference - in this case the heterosexuals.

HODAR: "If HP has to tolerate Reinhardt's expression of religion in the work place; they must tolerate everyone's."

If Reinhardt has to tolerate HP's Diversity Dogma (read religion), than HP should tolerate Reinhardt's expression of Biblical Christianity.

HODAR: "...HP has no choice, they cannot favor one religion over another; thus no one gets to denounce anyone. Imagine, a work place where you can't post religious directives to kill Jews, or stone gays."

I can imagine it but it will never happen. The perpetuation of one religion over another in the workplace is intolerable, whether it be Biblical Christianity, Islam, or HP's brand of Religious Cultural Diversity.

Rather simple and logical. Your sense and reasoning are too strong for those that desire persecution.

Rather misleading headline wouldn't you say?

They apparently tolerate the religion of Gaydom.
