I find it curious that he “even” went to a Pagan pride meeting. So what? Wouldn’t attending a Pagan pride meeting just be good PR for someone in the Green business since most Pagans are sympathetic to the movement? And if, as she says, he doesn’t recycle, then my hypocrite meter is kind of going off here. He attends one Pagan pride meeting and suddenly he should be beloved by all Pagans for his selfless dedication to Paganism and the green movement and her allegations are just that? No, I think not. Here is a classic example of the animal known by most as the politician, or politicus hypocritus, not to be confused with the politicus liarliarpantsonfiricus.

that’s the reason why i haven’t come out as a pagan to my employers. much like tennessee, texas is an at-will state. in the end, it’s sad it ended up like that. the situation could have been resolved differently.personally, they shouldn’t have started a myspace in the first place. it’s rather unprofessional and there’s a ton of other ways to network. that very well could have been the problem in the first place.

I hope they do work things out. Kicking off the tour in Portland, this area is commonly considered the “pagan Mecca”. Boy would they have problems around here having a “green” train that discriminates against pagans? Not good.

Ms Hunter likely dosn’t have much recourse. Tennessee is an “employment-at-will” state, and an employer there can terminate an employee at any time and for any reason without penalty. Unless she can show that her religion was the primary reason for her termination, she’s going to be out of luck.And because her employer was a private entity, the employer is under no requirement to be equal in its treatment of religion on its website.
