In other news, Christian teachers employed by the state STILL can’t keep a Bible on their desks...

What about religious symbols from other religions? From what I have read any person who says they are Christian will be fired for displaying his or her religious symbol.

As long as they still have to wear the hat that’s part of their uniform over it, I don’t see a problem. Of course the state hiring muslims is always going to turn into a problem, but there’s nothing we can do about that.

In effect state prison officials have asked, “Please Mr. Muslim, can I kiss your butt”.

Just an afterthought. Why do they call them “Uniforms” any more? It isnt “uniform” when anyone can chhose what cap they want to wear. Why not have guards wear baseball caps backwards or sideways so they can relate to the bulk of their prisoners?

I’m guessing that Orthodox Jews don’t go into this line of work too often.

Muslim guards — well, they’ll have some affinity with many dangerous criminals.

I wear, and have worn all my life, a visible Crucifix.
I have been served in the military, and been employed by two large, liberal universities and two large corporations. No one has ever said a solitary word to me except “nice Crucifix”.
