[M. Dodge Thomas]

"any law by the government protecting people from religious discrimination would have to protect the idiot at work and his stupid shirt."

Federal law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) prohibits religious discrimination in employment, and still allows an employer to prevent an employee from wearing an offensive tee-shirt.

There are gray areas, which is why these issues sometimes get litigated, but the tee-shirt in this example is not one of them, or even close.

"tee-shirt in this example is not one of them, or even close."

I'm no lawyer. This is good news though. My point was mainly to show the burden of anti-discrimination laws for employers. If they can protect one action (religion) they can protect others (homosexuality). I think the government should stick to the following: age, sex, race.
