Hi Gamma
 
Okay, you got me to read one of your articles. A rare event to be sure. But I'm glad I read this one as I do find a response to be had.
 
But before that, did you peg this article because the lady was 7th Day Adventist? It would seem to me that it is the duty of any partent within any religion; Christianity not excluded to pass the major writings of their faith down to the next generation. This certainly would not exclude those of us who align ourselves with the 7th Day Adventist movement.
 
Now for your answer, this is the main phrase that the bus driver and his company hung their hat upon.
 
"It's only if the other passengers will complain, or it's obviously so loud it's distracting the operator, that we will ask them to stop," Hunter explained.
 
Yet his request was...
 
"Christine Lutz says she was reading her Bible to her children when the bus driver asked her to stop or get off the bus."
 
According to the article he did not comfront her because she was being noisy, but rather because she was reading the Bible on the bus. Last time I checked we still had our first amendment rights. Had he asked her to reduce the amount of disruptive noise she and her family were making that might be one thing; but according to the article he focused upon the Bible as the issue. If this is the case then this was certainly a case of religious discrimination. What exactly he said and how he said it makes all the difference within this case and should this woman choose to pursue legal corrections within the court of law itself.
 
I've been on buses and heard loud unruly people. Normally these would be seen as the drunks and stoners of the ride, not those going to church; whatever church that might be. Are their exceptions to this rule? Undoubtedly.
 
Cheers

Hey Gamma
 
For the record IBIJ2 just stated that she agrees with my position on this post and would like to add that without further information this is a clear cut case of religious discrimination especially since the focus of the bus driver was the Bible rather than the actual noise volume. Without more information it is impossible to determine without a shadow of doubt if this is indeed a case of religious discrimination or adherance to policy standards. One thing that is certain is that the legal departments of the 7th Day Adventist movement will not allow this to remain an unadressed issue to the extent that the people involved are or are not willing to have an active voice towards the issue. Considering that this has now been posted as an article of reference it would be our opinion that this family has no intention of remaining silent about this issue. We do hope this to be the case in the long run.
