[nagdu] Fw: [nfbmi-talk] Fw: guide dog banned from church bus

[Dan Weiner]

So glad I'm not in to organized religion, that's all I can say, I do, my
self, question the freedom that religious institutions seem to have to be
prejudiced.

The separation of church and state predates the ADA by quite a bit.  Freedom
of religion is a fundamental tenant of this country.  If churches were not
exempt from the ADA, then quite a few other laws would also have to be
changed, like all of them.

I think what happened to the lady is sad.  I don't understand how there was
no problem in the church or at other church functions, but somehow the bus
was different.  Makes no sense to me.  However if a church wants to be
prejudice, it is their prerogative.  I would think the being Christian part
would compensate for the lack of laws.  They would do the right thing out of
decency, not because there is a law saying they must,  but I guess not.
