Off the wall: Office décor prompts religious discrimination case

Description

Abstract: A rental complex discharged two employees who had refused to remove a religious poster from an apartment management office. The couple sued, claiming that the company had intentionally discriminated against them because of their religion, failed to accommodate their sincerely held religious beliefs and retaliated against them. This article explains the appeals court’s split decision regarding the district court’s ruling on these three points. Dixon v. Hallmark Companies, Inc., No. 10-10047, Dec. 9, 2010 (11th Cir.)
