An Employee Joins a Religion That Requires Members to Keep

question 265

Multiple Choice

An employee joins a religion that requires members to keep a chicken by their side all morning and then cut-off the chicken's head at noon and suck the blood. The employer tells the employee that he may not do this at work. The employee claims he has the right to do this as a religious belief, so the employer fires him. If sued for discrimination, the court will likely rule that:

• A) these religious beliefs are valid and so they must be allowed
• B) the chicken act may be done, but only in a room set aside for that purpose
• C) this is an odd "religion," so Title VII does not apply
• D) this behavior imposes undue hardship on the employer so need not be tolerated
• E) the employee should be required to go to a class on the humane treatment of animals
