This is saying, "Even though this person HATES everything you stand for...we as the government are going to force you to hire this person." This action is total BS! [/quote] No, it's saying discrimination based on political beliefs isn't cool. Civilised societies don't allow people to be discriminated against because of their views on politics, or religion for that matter. [/quote] Are you on crack cocaine? By your definition "civil" societies must kill themselves. If you are forced to hire somebody who wishes to kill you...you live in tyranny. Would we force somebody to hire, as a baker, a person who doesn't believe in the use of heat to cook things? If you continue this reasoning...than I wonder how you would act if the company you work for...hired somebody who wanted to kill you...have fun with that! [/quote]
Original Message
A Nevada legislative panel has decided it's high time to repeal a state law that allows job discrimination against communists.
The 12-member Legislative Commission unanimously decided this week to introduce a bill at the 2013 session that would repeal a law that was passed in 1951 during the anti-communist fervor of the Cold War.
The law allows employers to reject job applications from communists and their sympathizers, and to fire any communists in their workforce.
