Now, would it be religious discrimination if he were fired for not being able to fulfill the duties of a lifeguard, regardless of religious reasoning? If raising the flag is part of the job, where do you draw the line?
Obviously people shouldn’t be forced to compromise their religious beliefs for a paycheck, but by that same measure people shouldn’t be paid if they’re not actually doing their job. If your religion prevents you from doing a job effectively, then you shouldn’t in good conscious even seek that job.
I know raising pride flags isn’t necessarily in the job description for any generic lifeguard, but you get what the fuck I’m saying.
