The article specifically noted that they guy's quotes were IN his cubicle. I'm sure there are sayings, pictures etc in other peoples' cubicles that offended him, or other people.

So, if you have a little bumper sticker in your cube that says something like "Let's burn a jew", or "Have you killed a niger today", you feel that should be allowed? Creating a hostile envirnment is not to be tolerated.... period.

For a refresher, here's the paragraph from the article.

A passage, which Peterson had conceded was "intended to be hurtful," reads: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Let's see, not only is this verse using religion as a weapon; creating a hostile work environment, I can also find an implied death threat there.

Could you show me a Bible quote that says "go burn a jew" or "have you killed a niger [sic] today"?

Did you not read that this quote was IN his cubicle? Can't you imagine that people inside their own cubicles might have statements, humor or pictures that someone somewhere might find offensive? Should all those possibly offensive-to-someone pictures, quotes, statements all be barred or the posters thereof be fired as well?

My questions are not rhetorical.
