Three senior lawyers were instructed to attend an eight-hour training conducted by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
Southwest Airlines on Tuesday said it will appeal a Texas federal judge’s unusual order requiring three of its senior lawyers to attend “religious liberty training” by a prominent conservative Christian legal group.
So the employee was odious, refusing to participate in a parade with her union, and went on social media to harass others in doing the same- because the parade/protest was sponsored by planned parent hood against trump (edit, sorry for the typo)
She got fired for the harassment and is claiming religious discrimination.
So scummed up trump appointee of a judge ordered the lawyers to take “religious liberty training” training from the same people that are going after mefipristone.
am I the only one wondering if this isn’t a money laundering scheme? Judge takes bribes, sends people for bullshit training, these people pay for it. Rinse, repeat.
do they not see the irony of going on about religious liberty while actively imposing their religion on others?
Iirc there are a few Texan judges that are notoriously corrupt in how they judge patent troll lawsuits, so it wouldn't surprise me if this judge really was getting bribes

Replace Christian with Muslim and see the hypocrisy.
When people say that you need to "respect religious liberty and diverse viewpoints in the workplace," what they mean is that they want you to tolerate their bigotry and continue to silently receive their abuse.
This is what happens when you make conservatives your leaders.
A judge who orders anyone to attend a class held by the ADF ought to be removed from the bench. They're as interested in religious liberty as a shark is interested in veganism.
The way I read it is that he was pissed that they didn't carry out the original order by the court, so he was just shelling out a punishment that would get his point across.
