WTF Stories of the Week

How about if she refused to drive because of an ad about Muslims? Or about Jerry Springer?

She agreed to drive a bus. She's refusing to drive the bus because she's offended that there are atheists that might want to hang out together?

Last time I checked, I do my job and deal with everyone. I don't care what religion they are. If I fail to do my job, I don't get paid and don't have a job. My personal beliefs don't really come into it.

Like I said, I agree that she would be rightfully disciplined/fired for it, but I don't blame her for not wanting to do it. But again, that's why I wouldn't take a job that requires me to operate a moving advertisement.

There's a difference between working with people with differing beliefs and operating a moving advertisement for something you don't believe in. I don't think she has any shred of a case for not being fired if she's refusing to do the job. All I'm saying is I understand why she would refuse. I too would refuse if the bus carried a message that I found hateful. I disagree with her that the message is hateful, but then she'd disagree with me about what I find hateful.
