Um, doesnt the bus run a specified route? Fired for not running your route. Done
AUSTIN, Texas -- An Austin bus driver has filed a lawsuit claiming he was fired based on his religious beliefs.
Wire reports state an attorney for Edwin Graning filed the lawsuit against Capital Area Rural Transportation System. Graning, an ordained Christian minister, states in the lawsuit he was "concerned that he might be transporting a client to undergo an abortion" when he refused to take two women to a Planned Parenthood clinic. Graning was later fired when he returned his bus to the bus yard.
The lawsuit claims Graning's former employer violated le VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
Graning is represented by attorneys from the American Center for Law & Justice, which was founded by evangelical Christian leader Pat Robertson.
WOAI

ahhh ministers.....
The funny thing is there was no discrimination based on his religious beliefs. The dude was hired right. They were firing him for failing to perform his job function. It would be discrimination if they didn't fire him.
dumbass. they were probably picking up their nuvaring or something like that.
lol abusing the system
looks like someone is going to be compensated
For what it's worth I don't think it was a specific route, I believe he was dispatched to pick them up at a specific location and take them to PP.
Only 3% of PP's work involves abortions. Dude made an assumption, refused to take a passenger where they LEGALLY wanted to go, he was fired for failure to perform his job. End of story.
Maybe if he did his job he wouldn't had gotten fired.
I wonder how many people of Islamic faith are being fired cuz they won't take you to a liquor store. Happened to a friend this past weekend.
In a taxi?
I tried to get a ride from an Amish dude to the HEB but he told me his horse was too tired.
Oh yeah, well a Jew told me he wouldn't drive me to the Culebra Meat Market #10.
What about #9?
He said that was ok, but only because we stopped at costco first and I bought him a hot dog.
Yep. I heard about it last year and now I know for a fact that it's going on. He told my buddy flat out that it's against his beliefs to take him there.
kosher?
Good thing taxi drivers are set up as their own businesses and therefore allowed to pick up or not pick up a fare as they see fit.
Costco sells Hebrew National hotdogs. LOL (don't worry I figured that maybe only half of the people would know and that I would have to explain, but it was just a question of who and when).
I guess you're for segregated country clubs then, too.
I am for business owners being able to cater to whatever customer they want. So long as they don't receive government funding or break any laws in the process.
Catering is one thing. Segregating is another.
Also, to directly answer your question. I don't care about who country clubs let into their ranks. It is a private ins ution and as long as the will of the membership is reflected in its policies, why not have the ability to segregate, or not segregate?
If you are asking if I would join such a club, no, it would be too ... monochromatic and non-varietal to me. I probably couldn't anyway since my kids are half-mexican which tells you a little about my wife.
