I was reading a completely not related article on sexual harassment in the workplace and was suddenly struck by a thought...
The President has crafted an exemption to the HHS mandate that allows institutions that involves criteria of serving or employing people of a single faith. Does this mean that if an employer has exempted their health insurance coverage, or in an effort to exempt their coverage, they will be permitted to ask about the religion of potential employees and base their hiring on the religious beliefs of the applicant?
I'm certainly not in favor of that. However, the contrary of saying you can only be exempt if you discriminate but you are not permitted to discriminate so you must violate your religious beliefs is even more intolerable.
