It is against the law to discriminate in employment, housing, or any activity or group where you receive Federal funds. There is no law stating it's illegal to discriminate in the teaching of a CHL class based on race or religion, unless you receive Federal funds to teach the class. Is it socially and/or morally wrong? Perhaps. But people discriminate all the time: social clubs, community organizations, etc. For example, you are not allowed to enter a Mormon Temple unless you're a Mormon - and one certified by your Bishop to be a Mormon in good standing at that. One could argue that's discrimination based on religion and they'd be right, yet it's perfectly legal.
Curious for my own understanding, what stops this same guy who let's say owns a restaurant from saying "NO *insert protected group here* allowed" ? This is what you see in all the history books happened in the south in the mid-1900s with "No Coloreds Allowed" signs etc., and that doesn't happen anymore. Why not? I thought there was a Federal law forbidding such signs.
Here is another view of it. The view that says only the Fed gvt cannot discriminate but individuals can (not that they should, but can) http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201005200033" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;wgoforth wrote:Yes.. it is a little complicated: http://www.legalzoom.com/us-law/equal-r ... se-service" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;A-R wrote:Kythas wrote:Actually, no.

Then so be it and I plead guilty if Islamist is a race....infoman wrote:Crockett Keller is a racist bigot, no other way to discribe it. He should be ashamed of himself and he gives all other "Good" CHL instructors around the state a bad name. Anyone who apologizes on his behalf is a bigot too.

No, he didn't....He said "non-Christian Arab" or Muslim. Not "non-Christian, Arab or Muslim" (I just re-listened to make sure...others do it too please and tell me what you hear). And where did I say that anyone of Arab descent was a terrorist? I have never made this about race. I have constantly said Islamist (a theocratic-governmental system) and never Arab (race). I have also preached for many multi-culural churches in 30 years. This is about theocratic governmental systems, never race.infoman wrote:the add said "non-christians, muslims, or arabs" He's a bigot, and it's stupid to say on a radio station. You talk about the bible, try reading this passage and then respond after reading it thoroughly. Deuteronomy 13:6-18. It's hipocrytical of you to say that anyone who is arabic decent is automatically a blood thirsty Islamic terrist. What countries whould you deny someone to take your class? Anyone born in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon?

I actually googled it, but thought lbtl was LBTL. For some reason that didn't show anything useful. :))sjfcontrol wrote:Google is your friend...wgoforth wrote:I might agree to if i knew what lbtl was.... enlighten please?
