Freedom of denomination, for Protestants, as the Founding Fathers intended.
I like how the laws and rules are always worded so neutrally, like "no large signs of any political, philosophical or religious beliefs", as if the rule would also apply to a really large cross necklace or something.
“A prohibition on wearing any visible form of expression of political, philosophical or religious beliefs in the workplace may be justified by the employer’s need to present a neutral image towards customers"
wtf does that even mean?
"sorry your corporation isn't neutral because it employees muslims."
????political or philosophical
Imagine taking some small business dipshit to court because of a capitalist or "live laugh love" sign
It means they needed a way to couch their racism in neutral-sounding legalism.
It means that:
- They feel better with themselves and it helps them deflect criticism when they give their racism plausible deniability.
- They feel workers are the property of employers whose tyrannical desire to suppress any non-conforming personality among workers should therefore be entertained by the legal system.
"our customers are racist so we're going to force their racism on you"
It means you aren't allowed to wear dollar bill suits, cause it hurts the neutral image of the employer and exposes them to be capitalist.
It means you aren't allowed business suits cause your religion would be of American Psycho or Wall Street.
It means you aren't allowed a Trotski or Lenin or Mao shirt cause religious figures aren't allowed.
It's the same shit they pulled in Quebec with their shitty secularist laws. They basically banned anyone who's Sikh or Muslim from wearing religious iconography so as to pretend there was no "religious bias" for public workplaces.
Carthage losing the Punic Wars and its consequences have been an unmitigated disaster fot humankind.
any chance this can lead to solidarity and boycotts of businesses that ban hijab?
In Europe? Slim chance.
Even though most people don't necessarily have explicitly negative opinions of muslims, they lean towards seeing the hijab as demeaning towards women.
