Recently, religious groups have got into a bit of a tizzy over potential discrimination clauses which may be changed, preventing 'religion' from being an excuse to discriminate against people they don't like (wrapped up, as always, under the cover of 'religious freedom').
I've covered this topic before; if religious freedom and and human rights clash, than human rights trump religious freedom. Period. If you think it's your religious freedom to discriminate, than by extension you must agree that a white principal can prevent a non-white applicant from teaching because it goes against the principal's genuine beliefs. Of course, if it was a Muslim school disallowing Christians from teaching (equally as abhorrent), you would be up in arms in outrage.
(And does anybody think it's rather unjust that religious bigots are allowed to discriminate, but non-believing bigots are not?)
Captain Lefty, does a better job here.
