You know the bus signs in Iowas that read, "Don't believe in God? You are not alone"? One bus driver refused to do her job because "the message is against her Christian faith," and was then suspended.
Somebody tell me what precisely in that message is against anyone's faith? It simply asks whether one believes in a god (I know that is not forbidden, because Christians have asked me that), and then says that there are others with the same beliefs, which is simply a description of reality. Oh, I get it — reality is in conflict with Christianity. I can believe that.
Anyway, I think the punishment was entirely appropriate. Maybe it could have been more severe, and she should have been fired — I want my bus drivers to have some brains, after all.
