You know what, no. Fuck this bigot. Let's not bend over backwards to accommodate his hatred and ignorance.

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.
