Political Discrimination: The Elephant in the Room? | Diversity Insight
I was searching online for any lawsuit defending political beliefs from discrimination.
I found this case involving a school and hiring that appeared to discriminate against a more qualified candidate due to political affiliation.
I was really looking for something more neutral.
As a Constitutionalist I am dismayed to find that people with political beliefs on both sides of
* the health care divide over federal govt vs. states and free market
* the marriage laws either including, excluding gay marriage or being neutral/removed from govt altogether
* the LGBT policies pushing either too far in one direction or the other (instead of remaining neutral)
are too willing to violate the beliefs of others in defense of their own.
So I find it harder to defend religious and political beliefs of people who abuse that to bully or impose so far against opposing beliefs then end up violating the equal rights of others while demanding "equal protection" of their own beliefs.
Where are the other Libertarians, Constitutionalists or inclusive Progressives
willing to protect the religious and political beliefs of both sides equally from
infringing on each other?
All I find is one side defending itself by attacking the other.
Is there any group, movement or campaign for equal inclusion and protection of separate programs? instead defending one side's beliefs at the expense of the other?
Am I the only one arguing that both need to stop imposing their beliefs on the other party?
