[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nurse.  Every morning at 0700 during a mandatory morning huddle, I have to listen to a prayer (or pray, that's the other option).  The prayer varies by the day and is never a generic "lord, let us do good, amen" sort of affair.   Always very long, detailed, and packed with extremely reverent and humble offerings to a specific deity.

I cannot opt out of morning huddle and I cannot just pop in and out for the prayer part because it's sandwiched in between concrete medical information I must have for the day.

This is at a hospital that is VERY loosely affiliated with a particular religion and so my recourse is to quit.   If it was a state hospital — say, the Univ. of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore — I'd take a different approach to this uncomfortable situation.  But because a particular religion founded this hospital 140 years ago, that's their basis for forcing prayer in 2016 although nothing in their mission statement, etc, has anything to do w. religion at this time.[/quote]

Don't work at a religous based hospital if you want the world sanitized of religion.  This one is quite simple and very different from the other examples.[/quote]

Thanks for repeating what I, PP, already said in my post!  [/quote]

Yeah, why not ask the nurse to quit her salaried position with benefits in a bad economy when she has rent to pay and possibly kids to feed? In no way should her civil rights be respected.

Getting sexually harassed at work? Well don't work at that place if you want to make a stand against sexual harassment. Starve on the streets for your principles!

Getting racially discriminated against at work? Well don't work at that place if you want to make a stand against racism. Starve on the streets for your principles!

Getting religiously discriminated against at work? ...oh wait.[/quote]
