I was just sent this story by someone who keeps abreast of the events in Bakersfield. You know who you are. It seems that a Christian pediatrician denied child service because parents are tattooed

In the Ethical Framework for the Workplace, this situation does fit into the:

A. “I’m self-employed, so I choose who I work for” category

which I fully support as well as the:

B. “I bring my religious beliefs with me to work,”

which I also support.

But the doctor did fail the qualification for A and B:

Qualification: “If I can’t do the job, I’ll refer to you to someone who can.”

Furthermore I was unaware the Bible said anything about tattoos and piercings. And I wonder if the doctor objects to crown of thorn armbands?

Where is Reverend Hank when I need him? And I did I mention the above event occurred in Bakersfield?
