And then there’s this. A woman was fired from her job as a teacher at a Lutheran school. She filed a discrimination case. The Supreme Court unanimously sided with the church, effectively saying that a church can discriminate in it’s decisions about employees.
A Lutheran school is a business, not a church. Just because a church runs the business does not mean that religious freedom should trump basic human rights. Besides, I fail to see how settling this woman’s case would somehow infringe upon religious freedom. In my opinion, of course. I’m not a Supreme Court Justice, so my opinion matters little. But this does make me Supremely uncomfortable.

Roman Opałka was a French-born Polish painter who painted numbers. In 1965 he began painting a process of counting – from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. As of July 2004, he had reached 5.5 million.
